Hi

Is this possible to get userComment details from Metadata?

I tried this code is not working properly. Kindly anyone suggests me to solve this problem.

var xmpString = app.activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData;
var flg = xmpString.match(/<exif:UserComment>(\w)<\/exif:UserComment>/);

 var xmpString = app.activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData;
 var comment = xmpString.getProperty( XMPConst.NS_EXIF, "userComment" );

Please try this...

#target photoshop
if(documents.length){
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined)  ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
var userComment='';
xmp = new XMPMeta( app.activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData );
if( xmp.doesPropertyExist(XMPConst.NS_EXIF, "UserComment" ) ){
userComment = xmp.getLocalizedText(XMPConst.NS_EXIF, "UserComment", null, "en");
}else{
  userComment = "No user comment";
  }
alert(userComment);
}
