In my previous post, forum software ate up double backslashes.
It should be:

newPath = 'c: backslash backslash temp backslash backslash newproject backslash backslash ';

Yes, it is. Forward slashes work as well:

newPath = "c:/temp/newproject/";

What I mean is that backslash is the escape character, so we must use a double backslash to indicate it. In the original post I see single backslashes:

myNewPath = 'c:tempnewproject'

Probably, initallly they were there, but the forum software removed them.

#target indesign
Main();

function Main() {
    // the following 4 lines declare variables
    // usually I declare all vars at the beginning of the function
    // when you declare a variable with var, you limit its scope to the function
    // (making them local),
    // otherwise the scope is global which may cause you problems
    // a rule-of-thumb is to use global vars only you really need them
    var i, link, newFile,
    doc = app.activeDocument, // set variable doc to the front most document
    links = doc.links, // set variable links to collection of all links
    newPath = "/c/temp/newproject/"; // path to the folder
    for (i = links.length-1; i >= 0; i–) { // loop through all links backwards
        // from the last to the first item
        // it's very important when you modify or remove items from collection
        // to process them back to front, never use in such cases direct loop like so:
        // for (i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
        link = links[i]; // set variable link to the current link
        newFile = new File(newPath + link.name); // create file object
        if (newFile.exists) link.relink(newFile); // relink only if the file exists
        try { // if memory serves me right, unlike CS3,
            // CS4 doesn't need update() command after using relink()
            // if you use it , it would cause an error
            // I use try-catch block to make the script compatible with CS3 and above
            // In other words, if an error occurs here, skip it over and go on
            link.update();
        }
        catch(err) {}
    }
}

The links placed more than once are far more difficult to deal with — in short, they should be processed separately.

I can give you a few examples of how I do this:

Resize images for Power Switch (see the SetLink100percent function — this is the latest algorithm I made)

Relink Images and Apply "Rich Black" Color for Power Switch (see the RelinkLink function)

Hi Bill,

I just checked the InDesign CS2 Scripting Reference and yes, theoretically it should work. However, I can't check this in practice — don't have CS2 any more.
