Turn on layer visibility without exact name

hi all,

 

this first post, , first attempt edit javascript ai, please bear me! realtively actionscript, trying hand @ streamline our image exporting process. using cs5 on pc.

 

we build our illustrator files combination of different layers. 1 layer exported @ time, , layers combined form more complex image. use layer names instructions of layers should on , off.

 

an example of layer naming might this:

 

03 (01-on, 02-off)

02 (01-off)

01

 

i have been able figure out how check if there note turn layer on, question how select layer turn on visibility without using exact name of layer?

 

in example, when layer 3 gets exported, should have layer "01" visible , layer "02 (01-off)" not visible. since our files constructed differently (meaning 02 might not have note 01 being off), can't use getbyname option because don't have exact name call layer , turn visibility on. layers start 01, 02, 03, etc. there way use getbyname , have @ first 2 characters of layer name?

 

thanks in advance help!

use index property, in example, if need turn layer 2 off use,

 

activedocument.layers[1].visible = false; 

 

zero based indexes layers, top being zero.
