Hello guys,
Let's share my very first real scripting project. Hope it can help someone, at least the shy fellas that think sripting is out of range. The code may not be brilliant yet, but it's a first step, anyway.
What does the script do ?
- It generates a EAN-14 code
- Provides 2 links to help you get to your usual web pages where you can paste the codes and get your jpg/png/AI pictures for your books/ boxes that are meant to be shipped and scanned.
What do you need to use it ?
- A EAN-13/ ISBN
- Distributor reference table for generating the Key digit (the 1st digit of the EAN-14)
What does it look like ?
What's the code ?
create_EAN14();
// Interface --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function create_EAN14 () {
var w = new Window ('dialog {text: "EAN-14 creation", orientation: "column", alignChildren: "top"}');

myEan13Data.text = "";

Hi @Fred.L, do you realise that the function I wrote for you earlier—getEANCheckDigit—does all the same calculations your script is doing, somewhat laboriously, with all the slicing? You may as well use it. Can you see how it works? It converts the number into a string and splits it into characters, converts each character to a number and does the digitNumStep1 calculations on it.

You can probably us it like this:
getEANCheckDigit(myKeyData.text + myEan13Data.text);
