so here is the error I get when I run the following script.... what am I doing wrong?? and it isn't saving over the eps file.
// Establish variable to count changes made
var changesMade = 0;
// Display the GUI
try {
var gui = createGUI();
gui.show();
} catch (e) {
alert(e);
}
// Go through subfolders as well
function getSubFolders(dir, collection) {
if (collection === undefined) collection = [];
var files = dir.getFiles();
if (files.length > 0) {
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
var file = files;
if (file.constructor == Folder && file.name !== "") {
collection.push(file);
getSubFolders(file, collection);
alert(file.name);
}
}
}
return collection;
}

Ok. No worries. Again I appreciate all your help. I am not a programmer... I kinda sorta get by with basics. But I am drowning here in all your efficient functions lol.
So what I am working toward is allowing the user to put in the correct and incorrect values.
If the file contains the name _gloss.eps it gets the following CMYK values (which I want the user to be able to type in).
CORRECT values for CMYK gloss:
CMYK Gloss: C 0 M 100 Y 100 K 35
If the file contains the name _matte.eps it gets the following CMYK values (which I want the user to be able to type in).
CORRECT values for CMYK matte:
CMYK Matte: C 0 M 100 Y 100 K 33
No matter if it contains _matte.eps or _gloss.eps the incorrect values are the same (which I want the user to be able to type in).
INCORRECT values for CMYK gloss AND CMYK matte:
C 22.98 M 100 Y 100 K 17.84
All files I need to edit will be .eps. I want the changes to be saved to the edited .eps file (with no new file created).
All of this I would like to apply to a selected folder and all subfolder/subfiles.
What we have here is really close...but it is getting over my head with all the functions.
