Sort specific Files by Name termination

[thomasa89910890]

Hello everyone ,

i have a comp with many type a file(png,swf....),and i want to use only the swf one ,

put them at the end and distribute them by name using the first part of the name ..

(00_file01.swf      01_file01.swf  02_file02.swf  03_file03.swf.........)

I try to do that :

...

here the others files...

...

.....

02_file02.swf

01_file01.swf

00_file01.swf   

i do that code for the moment but i dont know how to check the first part of the name and continue the loop...

//step01

  for (i=0;i<app.project.activeItem.layers.length;i++) {

if ((app.project.activeItem.layer(i+1).name.toLowerCase().indexOf('.swf') != -1)&& (app.project.activeItem.layer(i+1).name.split("_")[0]=="00"))

app.project.activeItem.layer(i+1).selected = true;

}

app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0].moveToEnd();

var Swf_00=app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0].index

var PosSwf00=app.project.activeItem.layer(Swf_00)

//#selectNone

for (i=0;i<app.project.activeItem.layers.length;i++) {

app.project.activeItem.layer(i+1).selected = false;

}

//step02

  for (i=0;i<app.project.activeItem.layers.length;i++) {

if ((app.project.activeItem.layer(i+1).name.toLowerCase().indexOf('.swf') != -1)&& (app.project.activeItem.layer(i+1).name.split("_")[0]=="01"))

app.project.activeItem.layer(i+1).selected = true;

}

app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0].moveBefore(PosSwf00);

var Swf_01=app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0].index

//step03

  for (i=0;i<app.project.activeItem.layers.length;i++) {

if ((app.project.activeItem.layer(i+1).name.toLowerCase().indexOf('.swf') != -1)&& (app.project.activeItem.layer(i+1).name.split("_")[0]=="02"))

app.project.activeItem.layer(i+1).moveBefore(app.project.activeItem.layer(Swf_01));

}

Give this one a shot.

(function(){
    try {
        var composition = app.project.activeItem;
        if (!composition || !(composition instanceof CompItem))
            return alert("Please select composition first");
        var swfFiles = getLayersByName(composition, ".swf");
        if (swfFiles.length === 0) {
            return alert("Composition contains no SWF files.");
        }
        var sortedByName = sortFilesByPrefix(swfFiles, "_");
        app.beginUndoGroup("Sort them");
        for (var i = 0, il = sortedByName.length; i < il; i ++) {
            sortedByName.moveToEnd();
        }
        app.endUndoGroup();
    } catch (e) {
        alert  (e.toString() + "\nScript File: " + File.decode(e.fileName).replace(/^.*[\|\/]/, '') +
                "\nFunction: " + arguments.callee.name +
                "\nError on Line: " + e.line.toString());
    }
    function getLayersByName(composition, nameSnippet) {
        var layersThatMachCriteria, layer;
        layersThatMachCriteria = [];
        for (var i = 1, il = composition.numLayers; i < il; i ++) {
            layer = composition.layer(i);
            if (layer.name.toLowerCase().match(nameSnippet)) {
                layersThatMachCriteria.push(layer);
            }
        }
        return layersThatMachCriteria;
    }
    function sortFilesByPrefix(swfFiles, separator) {
        var sortedArray, layerName, indexAsString, indexAsInteger;
        sortedArray = [];
        for (var i = 0, il = swfFiles.length; i < il; i ++) {
            layerName = swfFiles.name;
            indexAsString = layerName.split(separator)[0];
            indexAsInteger = parseInt(indexAsString);
            sortedArray[indexAsInteger] = swfFiles;
        }
        return sortedArray;
    }
})();
