: Script to add numbers to end of AI layer names? I figure this script would be fairly easy to write since its a simple task but I know next to nothing regarding javascript. Essentially all

I didn't want to do this, cause this can lead to a path of: "...and also, I'd like to only rename the selected layers... oh and...", but here's the same script edited to keep the layer names.

Note that if you got layers that already contain a number in the name, this will just append a new number there, which may be less than ideal.

////START SCRIPT////
docRef=app.activeDocument;
topLayers=docRef.layers;
for(i=0;i<topLayers.length;i++){
var currLayer=topLayers[i];
var newNum=i+1;
currLayer.name = currLayer.name + newNum; // Edited this line
subLayers=topLayers[i].layers;
for(j=0;j<subLayers.length;j++){
var currSubLayer=subLayers[j];
var newSubNum=j+1;
currSubLayer.name = currSubLayer.name + newNum+"."+newSubNum; // Edited this line
subSubLayers=subLayers[j].layers;
for(k=0;k<subSubLayers.length;k++){
var currSubSubLayer=subSubLayers[k];
var newSubSubNum=k+1;
currSubSubLayer.name = currSubSubLayer.name + newNum+"."+newSubNum+"."+newSubSubNum; // Edited this line
}
}
}
////END SCRIPT////
