  Photoshop scripting add to selection

  Posted by Nicholas Joseph on May 3, 2012 at 6:56 am

  helloo everyone!

  Does anyone know how to select multiple layers via photoshop script? Below is what i have…
  
function searchBegin()
{
var searchThis = searchInput.text;
var numLayers = activeDocument.layers.length;
for (var i=0 ; i < numLayers ; i++)
{

  var layerName = activeDocument.layers[i].name;
  var matchName = layerName.match(searchThis);
  if(matchName == searchThis)
  {
  var selected = app.activeDocument.layers[i];
  activeDocument.activeLayer = selected;
  alert(selected);

  }

  }
}

  this code looks for a text in all the layers and selects all the match.
  activeDocument.activeLayer = selected;

  selects 1 layer at a time… how do I add to the selection.

  any help would be greatly appreciated!

  thanks!
