Problem : But i want to add an specific file name for example ( filename_EPS.eps) even i did the specific file name also, But i am getting .ai from current open file

see this | when i save my file

tell application "Adobe Illustrator"

activate

  set theName to name of current document

  set theNamecount to count of theName

  set theOutdatedPathObj to the file path of current document

  set thePath to (POSIX path of theOutdatedPathObj) as string

  set pathCount to count of thePath

  set pathCount to (pathCount - theNamecount)

  set newPath to (text 1 thru pathCount of thePath)

  set fullPath to (newPath & theName)

  set EPS_Path to fullPath & "_EPS.eps"

The question is a little bit unclear for me. And I doesn't speak Applescript.

But if I understand you right, you want to do something like this:

alert (app.activeDocument.name.replace(".ai","_EPS.eps"));

Have fun

Sorry, like I said before: I don't speak Applescript.

But perhaps you can wrap this Javascript snippet in a do javascript. It is not complete but I think you should see the "new name"

tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
    do javascript " alert (app.activeDocument.name.replace(".ai","_EPS.eps"));  "
end tell

Have fun
