Hi experts,

my script like this:

        var myFolder=Folder(app.activeDocument.fullName);
        var myFolder= Folder(app.activeBook.fullName);  
               if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/M:\\Announcement/)) {
                    return File(adPath + cName);
                    }
               else if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/M:\\Document folder/)) {
                    return File(cirPath + cName);
                    }
               else if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/J:\\/)) {
                    return File(arPath + cName);
                    }
               else if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/K:\\/)) {
                    return File(irPath + cName);
                    }
               else if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/N:\\/)) {
                    return File(ipoPath + cName);
                    }
               else if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/Shun Hing folder/)) {
                    return File(shunhingPath + cName);
                    }
               else if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/L:\\Other Folder/)) {
                    return File(othersPath + cName);
                    }

how to define:

var myFolder=Folder(app.activeDocument.fullName || app.activeBook.fullName);

??

Correct answer Johnwhite

thank you guys

I change it :

 var 
  myBooks = app.books.everyItem().getElements();
        if (myBooks.length) {
            myFolder= Folder(app.activeBook.fullName);
            }
        else {
            myFolder= Folder(app.activeDocument.fullName);
            }
               if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/M:\\Announcement/)) {
                    return File(adPath + cName);
                    }
               else if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/M:\\Document folder/)) {
                    return File(cirPath + cName);
                    }
               else if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/J:\\/)) {
                    return File(arPath + cName);
                    }
               else if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/K:\\/)) {
                    return File(irPath + cName);
                    }
               else if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/N:\\/)) {
                    return File(ipoPath + cName);
                    }
               else if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/Shun Hing folder/)) {
                    return File(shunhingPath + cName);
                    }
               else if(myFolder.parent.fsName.match(/L:\\Other Folder/)) {
                    return File(othersPath + cName);
                    }

Try this code,

var myFolder=Folder(app.activeBook.filePath);
//OR
var myFolder=Folder(app.activeDocument.filePath);
