I have a CSV File with the following data:
10, 23, 55, 123, 150 ...
I have a Javascript File which I use in Adobe Illustrator.
The following code creates 10 rectangles that are each shifted by 20 pixels and placed on the artboard. So far it works.
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var artLayer = myDocument.activeLayer;
var mypos = 0;
var i = 0;
while (i < 10) {
var rect = artLayer.pathItems.rectangle( 0, mypos, 200, 600 );
i++;
mypos = mypos + 20;
}
Now I want to use the values from the CSV file for the coordinates/position of the rectangles instead of mypos + 20
. The open dialog appears and I can select the CSV file.So far it works.
Now I don’t know how to process the data from the CSV file and go through the array to use the values.
var csvFile = File.openDialog("Choose CSV file.", "*.csv");
var csvContents = "";
if (csvFile) {
csvFile.open('r');
csvContents = csvFile.read();
csvFile.close();
}
