🚀 go-pugleaf

The use of XML Rules along the Adobe documentation is in my opinion overcomplicated, search the sample scripts for "glue code.jsx" if you're interested in details. Apparently Stefan R omitted that glue.

The script below demonstrates how I use the XML Rules.
Here the double slash works as wildcard in depth.
For details on xpath, see <http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath>


 
#target "InDesign"

function main() 
{ 
    var root  = app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0]; 
    var xpath = "//Product//ART_PRICE"; 
    var node  = null; 
    try { 
        var proc  = app.xmlRuleProcessors.add([xpath]); 
        var match = proc.startProcessingRuleSet(root); 
        while( match!=undefined ) { 
            node = match.element; 
            node.contents = "0.0"; 
            match = proc.findNextMatch(); 
        } 
        if( node ) 
            app.select(node); 
    } catch( ex ) { 
        alert(ex); 
    } finally { 
        proc.endProcessingRuleSet(); 
        proc.remove(); 
    } 
}

main();
