Auto Text Import - Easy Way ?

[TestOCM]

Hi!

I'm wondering if there are any scripts available to import text automatically ?

I have 3 Boxes they are labeled A,B,C.....  I would like the script to import word files and place them in those Boxes .. 

File A - Goes to box A etc ...

Any tips ?

thank u

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

var afile = File("~/Desktop/a.txt")

var bfile = File("~/Desktop/b.txt")

var cfile = File("~/Desktop/c.txt")

if (!afile.exists || !bfile.exists || !cfile.exists)

{

alert ("Text file missing...")

}

else

{

myDoc.textFrames.item("a").parentStory.insertionPoints.item(-1).place(afile);

myDoc.textFrames.item("b").parentStory.insertionPoints.item(-1).place(bfile);

myDoc.textFrames.item("c").parentStory.insertionPoints.item(-1).place(cfile);

}

Hello,

Thank you it works like a charm ...

I stumbled upon two issues ... I'm trying to import text file with random number in front    437865_name.txt

I did try to use "*"  *_name.txt  but its not working ?

And I did try to import some .gif files ... using that ... I guess it can't be done ?

Thank you for your help.
