I'm new to JXA and I'm trying to learn how to do some very basic things in TextEdit. I know how to get the paragraphs of a document as an array:
app = Application('TextEdit')
docPars = app.documents[0].paragraphs()
And then, say, sort it. But I can't figure out how to send it back to TextEdit as an array (i.e. multiple paragraphs in a TE document).
TIA
Here is an example for you
var TextEdit = Application("TextEdit");
var newDocument = TextEdit.Document();
TextEdit.documents.push(newDocument);
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++){
newDocument.paragraphs.push(TextEdit.Paragraph({ color:"red", size:20 }, "Test line " + i + "\n"))
}
// update example with array
var TextEdit = Application("TextEdit");
var newDocument = TextEdit.Document();
TextEdit.documents.push(newDocument);
var array = ["test first line", "i love stackoverflow", "i love jxa", "i love apple"]
for(var i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
newDocument.paragraphs.push(TextEdit.Paragraph({ color:"red", size:20 }, array[i] + "\n"))
}
