Editing a current filename to add a suffix in InDesign

[mahinasalena]

Hi there!

I have been searching through the forums trying to find something that would help me edit file names so that they include a suffix at the end. I did find some scripts that have gotten me to a point where I can rename the file with the shortname (var myPrepend), have it add a number, and then have it add the language suffix. However, I would like to keep the name of the original file and just add the language suffix if possible. The code below does help if I want to rename files completely but I would also like an option that will literally just add "_es" or "_fr" and others.

In addition to that, I would like to specifically target EPS and or ILLUSTRATOR files ONLY. I do not want to change the names of tiffs, jpegs, or anything else.

Is this at all possible? Thank you in advance!

Here is what I have so far:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

var myPrepend = prompt("Please enter issue shortname.\nExample: Client_Project", "Issue Shortname");

if (!myPrepend) exit();

var myLanguage = prompt ("Please enter language suffix.\nExample: _es (Spanish)", "Enter language suffix");

if (!myLanguage) exit();

var response = confirm("Warning: You are about to rename all images linked to the foremost Indesign Document - proceed?\n Keep in mind - it is not reversible!", false, "Rename Links Script");

if (!response) exit();

var doc = app.activeDocument,

    links = doc.allGraphics, count = 1, eqcount = 1, a = "000" ;

for(var i=links.length-1;i>=0;i--)

{

                var ext = links.itemLink.name.substr(links.itemLink.name.lastIndexOf(".")),

                    old = File(links.itemLink.filePath),

                    num = (count++).toString(),

                    newname = myPrepend + a.substring(0, a.length - num.length) + num + '_' + myLanguage + ext

                old.rename(newname);

                links.itemLink.relink(File(old.toString().replace(links.itemLink.name,newname)))

    }

var fname=links.itemLink.filePath;

ext = fname.substr(fname.lastIndexOf(".")),

base=fname.substring(0,fname.lastIndexOf(".")),

old = File(links.itemLink.filePath),

num = (count++).toString(),

newname = myPrepend + base+a.substring(0, a.length - num.length) + num + '_' + myLanguage + ext;

Thanks for responding so quickly Vamitul! I am just not clear on what exactly I should be replacing, taking out, and what I should be leaving.

And would you happen to know how I would be able to apply it only to eps files?

In your last "for" block, replace your var block with mine.
