Copy anchored object with specific object style to new layer

hi there

 

i'm new scripting , been trying adjust script below, without result.

 

this script found on indisnip:

 

var myitems = app.activedocument.allpageitems;

var mydoc = app.activedocument;

var foundobjects = array();

 

for(var = 0; < myitems.length; i++){

    if(myitems[i].parent instanceof character){foundobjects.push(myitems[i]);}

}

 

if(foundobjects.length > 0){

    try{var mydestlayer = mydoc.layers.add({name:"anchor/inline duplicates"});}

    catch(_){mydestlayer = mydoc.layers.item("anchor/inline duplicates");}

    for(var = 0; < foundobjects.length; i++){

        var newduplicate = foundobjects[i].duplicate(mydestlayer);

        newduplicate.geometricbounds = foundobjects[i].geometricbounds;

        try{newduplicate.graphics[0].geometricbounds = foundobjects[i].graphics[0].geometricbounds;}catch(_){}

    }

}

 

it copy's anchored items new layer 'anchor/inline duplicates'.

but want anchored objects specific object style copied. 'appliedobjectstyles.name == "os-name".

can me that?

 

thx

(untested!) change lines iterate on found objects , add inline objects, starting @ line #5, following

 

for(var = 0; < myitems.length; i++){ if(myitems[i].appliedobjectstyle.name == "os-name" && myitems[i].parent instanceof character){foundobjects.push(myitems[i]);} } 

 

-- if-clause has been changed here; second line added.

 

to highlight code in post, can use "advanced" editor, can apply syntax hi-lighting. makes javascript ever more readable
