ExtendScript: How to find out which App is running the script?

Hello. Is it possible in ExtendScript to determine if the script is running by Premiere or AfterEffects?

I mean something like:

if (app.name == "Premiere") {
... do something in Premiere ... }
else if (app.name == "AfterEffects") {
... do something in AE ... }

getHostEnvironment().appName inside CSInterface.js is your friend:

var csInterface = new CSInterface();
var myCurrentAdobeApp = csInterface.getHostEnvironment().appName;
