Code to be evaluated! [004] // Round numbers! …

[Obi-wan Kenobi]

Hi all scripters,

Something is wrong: I can't find the way (surely obvious) to replace my numbers by their rounded values!! 

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;  
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\d+\\.\\d+";
var myFound = myDoc.findGrep();
for (n = 0; n < myFound.length; n++){
        var myNum = myFound.contents;
        myNum = roundNumber (myNum);
};
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
function roundNumber (number)  
    {  
    number = Math.round(Number (number));  
    return number;  
    }

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Trevorׅ!

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;  
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\d+\\.\\d+";
var myFound = myDoc.findGrep();
n = myFound.length;  
while (n--)  
    {  
        app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = Math.round(myFound.contents).toString();  
        myFound.changeGrep();  
    }
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;

I think changeGrep() is missing in your code..

Anytime dear 🙂

tpk1982​ I don't think Obi had a problem with that
