need help with a simple script...

[@Js1212]

i dont know why but the attached snippet keeps saving my file (currently a .eps) as a .ai file. i need it to save out as a .eps. what do i need to change?

// The active document

var doc = app.activeDocument;

// The path of the original document

var originalDocPath = doc.path;

// The name of the original document

var originalDocName = doc.name;

// Get just the file name. Ignore the file extension

originalDocName = originalDocName.replace(/\.pdf|\.eps|_1c\.eps|\.ai/gi, "")

// Save the active document as a .eps with _1C

doc.saveAs(File(originalDocPath + "/" + originalDocName + "_1C.eps"));

...at first glance that is going right over my head....i am just beginning scripting and so far have just been modifying existing snippets that i have found and been stringing them together to get what i am trying to do. is there a simple solution?

You need EPS save options.

E.g. here:

Glad it's working for you.

By the way:
At the bottom of the page linked by M you will also find a good working example. I will also mark this answer as correct.
