[JW Lua] Delete paga-texts

[Bart Visser]

Hi Jari,

Thanks for your tip. I've tried it, but it still doesn't delete everything in one run:

local page_texts = finale.FCPageTexts()
page_texts:LoadAll()

for i = page_texts.Count-1, 0, -1 do
	p = page_texts:GetItemAt(0)
   	p:DeleteData()
end

The way I work around it now, is that I've created a loop that reload all the page-texts after a run. If the count the count is > 1 then it tries to delete them all (again).

Cheers,


Bart

If you delete the first data item referenced in a JW Lua collection, Finale relocates the data records while the collection keeps the old info from the LoadAll() call. That means that for each run you might only delete half of the data records in Finale.
