macos Homedir

[birnerseff]

Hi,

In a CEP project, I have a jsx script that returns a full path name of an AI document.

The js part uses that name to read a related text file (so, for somedoc.ai I want to read somedoc-features.txt)

On the mac, the jsx returns the ~ shorthand for the user's homedir. The cep readfile function cannot handle that. Currently I  am just replacing the tilde with a hardcoded /Users/Somename but I would certainly prefer to get the proper path from the system

Try to use this property of the file object: .fsName - It will show your OS's accurate filesystem name which is a full path and may return backslash delimiters for Windows.

Hi,

many thanks, I will give it a try later.

BTW, on the windows side cep panels and jsx scripts have different opinions on drive letter and its colon 😞
