Import XML [JS]

Hi
I use this approach but they may be a better way :

var myXMLFolder = File(myXML).parent;
var myXMLName = myXML.name;
...
if(app.activeDocument.saved == false)
{
app.activeDocument.save(new File(myXMLFolder+"/"+myXMLName.split(".xml")[0]+".indd"));
}

//myXMLName.split(".xml")[0] return first part of the name
//I can't do myXML.split(".xml") so I had to reconstruct the path
//Hence I needed to know the file parent folder.

Hi All,

Thanks, I have already done that. Now I want to save InDesign document. at present if I am saving the file then it shows .xml.indd I want to remove .xml from the file name while saving.

var FilterID = "InDesign Template: *.indt";
var FilterXML = "XML File: *.xml";
var myFile = File.openDialog("Please choose InDesign Template", FilterID);//To choose InDesign template
var myXML = File.openDialog("Please choose XML File", FilterXML);
var myXMLName = myXML.fielName;
app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;
var myDoc = app.open(myFile);
myDoc.xmlElements.item(0).importXML(File(myXML));

if(app.activeDocument.saved == false)
{
app.activeDocument.save(new File(myXML+".indd"));
}

Change
app.importXML(myFIle, myXML);
to
myDoc.importXML(myXML);

Start trying this :
import into doc rather than app
You mistyped myFile (myFIle)

app.activeDocument.importXML(myFile, myXML);
