I was wondering if anyone ran into this issue in the past and if anyone has ideas how to get this to work. I am trying to create a dynamic action but currently running into an issue where Illustrator is not recognizing the folder Path to convert using hex encoding.
I think the issue is due to the need for writing subfolders and the use of "\" within folder path. If I place the code $.write(folderPath) ===> C:UsersDesktopconvert1convert2convert3
Unfortunately, the action will only work if the folder path is encoded as so: "C:Users\Desktop\convert1\convert2\convert3"
Any ideas?
#target illustrator
main(["C:Users\Desktop\convert1\convert2\convert3" , "794107-00101"]);
function main(argv) {
var folderPath = argv[0];
var fileName = argv[1];
var doc= app.activeDocument;
String.prototype.hexEncode = function(){
var hex, i;
var result = "";
for (i=0; i<this.length; i++) {
hex = this.charCodeAt(i).toString(16);
result += (""+hex).slice(-4);
}
return result
}
hexcode =fileName.toString();
hexcode = fileName.hexEncode();
exportPV(folderPath)
//doc.close( SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES );
}

function exportPV(fileDest){
String.prototype.hexEncode = function(){
//http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21647928/javascript-unicode-string-to-hex
var hex = '';
for(var i=0;i<this.length;i++) {
hex += ''+this.charCodeAt(i).toString(16);
}
return hex;
};
function writeFile(fileDestStr, contents){
var newFile = File(fileDestStr);
newFile.open('w');
newFile.write(contents);
newFile.close();
