tweaking FM_Outputs_Conditional_Text.jsx

Apr 24, 2012 11:15 AM

I found what sees like a bug in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker10\Samples\ScriptsAndUtilities\Conditional Text\FM_Outputs_Conditional_Text.jsx.

 

The script produces two PDFs, which I expected to be named <book_name>_Comment_Red.pdf and <book_name>_Blue_Green.pdf.

 

Instead, they're named <book_name>.book_Comment_Red.pdf and <book_name>.book_Blue_Green.pdf.

 

The relevant lines seem to be:

 

FileSource = OpenBook(InputFile);

SavePdf(FileSource,InputFile + OutPutFiles[output_no]);

 

Is there some way to tweak the second line so as to remove the .book extension from FIleSource? Or to define another variable minus the extension?

    Assuming that InputFile is the path to the book, you can use this:

     

    SavePdf(FileSource,InputFile.replace(/\.book$/i,"") + OutPutFiles[output_no]);

     

    I haven't tested it, but it should work. It replaces the .book extension with an empty string.

    That seems to do the trick, thanks. Where is the .replace syntax documented?

    This is standard JavaScript regular expressions syntax.
