Hello I need help,

i want to copy my title field to the description field, the best on the beginning of the field.

my title field:

car bus van

 

my description field

car; bus; van

 

my try, but how i get all the words with semicolon seperated to the description field.

#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
FT = MenuElement.create("command", "description", "at the end of Tools");
}
FT.onSelect = function () {
var thumbs = app.document.selections;
if(!thumbs.length) return;
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
for(var a in thumbs){
var selectedFile = thumbs[a].spec;
/*var FileName = decodeURI(selectedFile.name).slice(0,7);*/
var TitleName = decodeURI(selectedFile.title).match(/z);
var TitleName1 = decodeURI(selectedFile.title).match(/z/L+{/z});
var TitleName2 = decodeURI(selectedFile.title).match(/z/L+/z/L+{/z});
var webshop = ";"
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();
var Desc=[];
var count = myXmp.countArrayItems(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description");
for(var i = 1;i <= count;i++){
Desc.push(myXmp.getArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description", i));
}
Desc=Desc.toString() + " " + webshop + " " + Desc.toString();
myXmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description");
myXmp.appendArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description", Desc, 0, XMPConst.ALIAS_TO_ALT_TEXT);
myXmp.setQualifier(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description[1]", "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", "lang", "x-default");
if (myXmpFile.canPutXMP(myXmp)) {
myXmpFile.putXMP(myXmp);
myXmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY);
}
}
}

 

thanks a lot

Correct answer gregreser

I'm not sure if htis meets your needs. It replaces all spaces in title with semicolon+space and adds this to the beginning of the Description. 

 

current title = car bus van

current description = existing description

new description = car; bus; van; existing description

 

#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
FT = MenuElement.create("command", "description", "at the end of Tools");
}
function loadXMPLib(){
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) {
    ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
	}
}

FT.onSelect = function () {
var thumbs = app.document.selections;
if(!thumbs.length) return;
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
for(var a in thumbs){
var selectedFile = thumbs[a].spec;

var webshop = ";"
var myXmpFile = new XMPFile( selectedFile.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
var myXmp = myXmpFile.getXMP();

var countTitle = myXmp.countArrayItems(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title");
 var titleString = "";
 if(countTitle > 0){   
    for(var i = 1;i <= countTitle;i++){
        try{
            titleString += myXmp.getArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "title", i);
            if(i < countTitle) titleString += '; ';
            }
        catch(propFail){
            titleString = "";
            }
        }
    };

var countDesc = myXmp.countArrayItems(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description");
 var descString = "";
 if(countDesc > 0){   
    for(var i = 1;i <= countDesc;i++){
        try{
            descString += myXmp.getArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description", i);
            if(i < countDesc) descString += '; ';
            }
        catch(propFail){
            descString = "";
            }
        }
    };
var titleStringSeparated = titleString.replace(/ /g, "; ")
var titleDescCombo = titleStringSeparated+"; "+descString;

myXmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description");
myXmp.appendArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description", titleDescCombo, 0, XMPConst.ALIAS_TO_ALT_TEXT);
myXmp.setQualifier(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description[1]", "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", "lang", "x-default");
if (myXmpFile.canPutXMP(myXmp)) {
myXmpFile.putXMP(myXmp);
myXmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY);
}
}
