How good are your scripting skills?

There are dozens of scripts in the forum with the different save variants. Your project should not fail because of that.

You probably just have a problem extracting the number. Unfortunately, you have given too little information about it.

Let's assume that your document has only one layer and only one text frame with only the number in it. Let's further assume that your number is always 6 digits. Then this code should already help you get started (only passes the number to the variable aCon, but no save routines are built in):

 

 

var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
if (aDoc.textFrames.length == 1) {
    var aCon= aDoc.textFrames[0].contents;
} else {
    alert ("There may only be one text frame!");
}

if (aCon.match(/^\d{6}$/) != null ) {
    alert ("Number: " + aCon + " detected.");
} else {
    alert ("No 6-digit number available!");
}
