How can I create a recursive routive that goes through ALL objects in a document?
I want to go through ALL... even all children.
Thank you very much in advance.

That is also how to do this one ;-)
The GetActiveTagR function recursively looks for an active tag, you can change it to find anything you like, or do anything you want :o)

Also note that recursion cannot handle arbitrarily deep object hierarchies, so if you get stack problems you can search for GetNextHierarchyObject() in the forum archives for a non-recursive function.

Is that a COFFEE only problem? never had any stack issues with C++, how deep are they likely to be! or is that just "in theory"?

What do you mean by "arbitrarily deep object hierarchies", Mikael?
Oh, and thank you for the listing again ;-) I didn't knew that handling objects could be done in the same way :-)

If lets say some bizarre person create nest of maybe a million objects, say, like:
Obj 1
- Obj 2
- Obj 3
- Obj 4
...
- Obj 1 million
then using a recursive function will run into problems with the stack (run out of the allocated memory for it basically).
Can't say I've ever thought about how deep it is safe to go, is there a known limit on the depth of children?

This was more of a problem in early C.O.F.F.E.E., and especially with the naive doubly recursive traversal (i.e. along siblings as well). I believe the limit was about 80 levels there, which was then doubled in R6 if I remember correctly. So you singly recursive function is probably safe for most things.
Oh, and for the archive impaired, here's GetNextHierarchyObject() :
GetNextHierarchyObject(obj, stopAt)
{
if (!obj) return NULL;
var next;
if (next = obj->GetDown()) return next;
if (next = obj->GetNext()) return next;
var up = obj;
while (up = up->GetUp())
{
if (up == stopAt) return NULL;
if (next = up->GetNext()) return next;
}
}
// Do DoFunction(obj) for all obj that are
// children or grand-children of parent.
var parent = doc->FindObject(...);
var obj = parent->GetDown();
while(obj)
{
DoFunction(obj);
obj = GetNextHierarchyObject(obj, parent);
}

Thank you for the info, Mikael.
I think I will stick with the recursive version (it is working now :-) It is more elegant and I believe that for the purpose it serves will do just fine.
Now, on to the next chalanges of my next plug-in ;-)

Weird, but where is the GetActiveTag function being called in line 5 from the GetActiveTagR function???
