Loop through all .mif files in a given folder

[josephb44551697]

Hello,

I am trying to write a script that does the following:

1. Asks the user for a folder path.
2. Loops through all of the .mif files in this folder.
3. Opens, modifies, and saves each file.

I know how to do 1 and 3, but have no idea how to do #2. I have used the following code to get all files, but can't differentiate mif files.

var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Select a folder");
var files = myFolder.getFiles();

I would appreciate help figuring this out.

Thank you,

Joseph

Look for the JavaScript Tools Guide. This explains how to use the Folder and File objects.

I just realized that I could turn the filename into a string, then search the end of the string for "mif".

var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Select a folder");
var allFiles = myFolder.getFiles();
var mifFiles = [];
for(var i = 0; i < allFiles.length; i++)
{
    var str = allFiles + "";
    if(str.substring(str.length - 3, str.length) == "mif")
    {
        mifFiles.push(allFiles);
    }
}

var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("Select a folder");  
var files = myFolder.getFiles("*.mif")
for (var i=0; i < files.length; i++)
{
    var currentFile = files;
    var fileSystemFileName = currentFile.fsName;
    //to something with file object or file name
}

should work like this

Markus,

That works better than what I just came up with. Thank you!
