Rename a document

[jakec42735283]

Hi,

I'm trying to check the document name and ask the user to rename it if it doesn't conform to this format xxxxxx Issxx.

I'm having trouble renaming the file. I understand you have to close the document before you can rename it.

Can anyone offer any advice for me code?

var doc = app.activeDocument;
function renameMe () {
    var p = prompt( "Please enter a valid file name" );
    checkInput(p);
    var file = doc.filePath,
    myFileName = doc.name.substr( 0, doc.name.indexOf( "." ) ),
    myNewFileName = myFileName.replace( myFileName, p + ".indd" );
    doc.close();
    //need to close the doc and find the folder to rename
    var newFile = file.rename( myNewFileName );
    app.open( file );
    }

function checkInput (check) {
     if ( !check.match( "\\d{6}\\sIss\\d+" ) ) {
    alert( "File name should follow convention 000000 Iss0" );
    renameMe();
    }
}

if (!doc.name.match( "\\d{6}\\sIss\\d+" ) ) {
    renameMe();
    }

Thanks,

Jake

Hi,

Replace theline:

var file = doc.filePath,     //     which in fact is a file parent (folder)

with

var file = doc.fullName,
