I am looking for a way to search in a drawing for a table with the first cell has the content "Rev." and if this table is found, a new table should be added.

Below script finds the table, but it seems my command table.InsertRow() seems to be failing.

Can somebody help me?

(The table has 4 columns, if this has any influence.)

 

function addRowToRevTables(drawing) {
    try {
        // Get all tables in the drawing
        var tables = drawing.ListTables();
 
        for (var i = 0; i < tables.Count; i++) {
            var table = tables.Item(i);
 
            try {
                // Get text from cell(1,1)
                var cell = pfcCreate("pfcTableCell").Create(1, 1);
                var mode = pfcCreate("pfcParamMode").DWGTABLE_NORMAL;
                var textSeqs = table.GetText(cell, mode);
                var note = textSeqs.Item(0);
 
                if (textSeqs !== void null && textSeqs.Count > 0) {
                    // var cellText = textSeqs.Item(0).Get(0);
                    if (note == "Rev.") {
                        // alert("Value is:"+note);
                        // Add a new row at the bottom of this table
                        var lastRow = table.GetRowCount();
                        alert(lastRow);
                        table.InsertRow();
                        alert(note);
                        
                        // table.InsertRow(1, lastRow); // row height = 1.0
 
                        // (optional) initialize new row with blank cells
                        // var colCount = table.GetColumnCount();
                        // for (var c = 1; c <= colCount; c++) {
                        //     writeTextInCell(table, lastRow + 1, c, ".");
                        // }
 
                        alert("Added row to table with 'Rev.' in cell(1,1).");
                    }
                }
            } catch (addRowErr) {
                // Skip tables where cell(1,1) doesn't exist
                // alert("Inner Error: " + addRowErr.description);
            }
        }
    } catch (generalErr) {
        alert("Error: " + generalErr.message);
    }
}
