if/else combined with delimited txt file

[reevoroxx]

Hi all,

I would have a quick question: I wrote a script to take informations like the page width/height and paste it into a new document and save it with the given informations.

Besides that I wanted to include in every document a text frame with the information of the aspect ratio.

I thought the easiest way would be an if/else tag to insert wether the height divided by the width or vice versa. But unfortunately InDesign is not grabbing these informations from my delimited text file.

The script would be the following: https://pastebin.com/NW9H6dxU

This would be an example of my current txt file: https://we.tl/Dlp0aEM3mA

Is there anything I need to change in order to make it work?

Thanks a lot for your help!

line 3 of the script opens the text file, but it doesn't appear to be closed after this point.

make line 5 of the script as follows:

file.close();

what happens once this is done?

Hi!

actually the script is going through the spreadsheet and creates new files with a specific margin per new document and saves them in a specific file name.

The only thing that is not working properly is the "if-else" statement: He doesnt take into consideration to divide the width/height, when the width is bigger than the height or vice versa. Is he probably not able to take these informations from a spreadsheet?

Thank you!
