Script to edit actual text in type layer with number generation?

// create scopies with progressive numbers in a type layer;



// use it at your own risk;



#target photoshop



var myDocument = app.activeDocument;



// the following line would work on the active layer;



// var theLayer = myDocument.activeLayer;



// this line takes the topmost layer;



var theLayer = myDocument.layers[0];



// get the name and location;



var docName = myDocument.name;



var basename = docName.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];



var docPath = myDocument.path;



// jpg-options;



var jpgopts = new JPEGSaveOptions();



jpgopts.embedProfile = true;



jpgopts.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;



jpgopts.matte = MatteType.NONE;



jpgopts.quality = 10;



// create the new numbers and save jpgs;



if (theLayer.kind == LayerKind.TEXT) {



// save the first one;



   myDocument.saveAs((new File(docPath+"/"+basename+"_"+theLayer.textItem.contents+".jpg")),jpgopts,true);



// create the rest, enter the desired total number - 1 instead of »99«;



   for (var m = 0; m < 99; m++) {



      var newNumber = bufferNumberWithZeros(Number(theLayer.textItem.contents) + 1, 3);



      theLayer.textItem.contents = newNumber;



      myDocument.saveAs((new File(docPath+"/"+basename+"_"+newNumber+".jpg")),jpgopts,true);



      }



   }



else {



   alert ("the topmost is not a text-layer")



   };



////// buffer the numbers-function //////



function bufferNumberWithZeros (number, places) {



   var theNumberString = String(number);



   for (var o = 0; o < (places - String(number).length); o++) {



      theNumberString = String("0" + theNumberString)



      };



   return theNumberString



};

I didnt include dialog to enter the intended number, but You can easily enough edit the Script itself according to the necessities, and I did it just for saving jpgs, again something You could change Yourself.
