var fileNam = app.activeDocument.name
fileNam = fileNam.replace(".indd",".epub");   

var myEpub = new File(FilePath+fileNam);               
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType,myEpub,false,undefined);

I am trying code like this... In this where I have to add your line...?

Very Urgent Friends...

If anybody help me Java script code for export ePub.....

[Kasyan Servetsky]

This feature is implemented via scripting so you can't export it as usual. Read this thread — it may help you to solve your problem.

And that will change to "normal" scripting in InDesign CS5.5.
See Marc Autrets "en_ID-CS55-DOM-WhatsNewObjects.pdf", page 12 at www.indiscript.com.

FYI, it's actually indiscripts with an "s". Link: http://www.indiscripts.com/post/2011/04/so-what-s-new-in-indesign-cs5-5-scripting-dom
