How to define log report path

[hasvi]

Hi,

How to define log report path, below code will generate the report on desktop path, but I want to generate log report on where my indesign file is opened. Can we do this by script. pls help me

This is for opening file:

var path = Folder.selectDialog ("Select folder");

var files = path.getFiles("*.indt" && "*.indt"),

     myDoc = app.open(new File(files)); 

This is for output file:

    var myTextFile = new File("~/Desktop/Log Report.csv")

    myTextFile.open("w")

    myTextFile.write("\nParagraph Style:") 

    myTextFile.write(myMissingParaStyle)

    myTextFile.close();

Hi Hasvi,

Try this,

var myTextFile = new File(myDoc.filePath + "/LogReport.csv")

Hi Chinna,

It shows "Unsaved documents have no path" so want to save my input ("*.indt" && "*.indt")" file as a indd file with "New Indesign" this name, because my input indesign file may be 'indd' or 'indt'. pls help to save my file with name.

Try this,

var path = Folder.selectDialog ("Select folder");

var files = path.getFiles("*.indt" && "*.indt");

myDoc = app.open(new File(files));

myDoc.save(new File(path + "/" + "New Indesign.indd"));

var myTextFile = new File(myDoc.filePath + "/LogReport.csv");

myTextFile.open("w")

myTextFile.write("\nParagraph Style:")

myTextFile.write(myMissingParaStyle)

myTextFile.close();

Hi chinna,

Many thanks. here 'var files = path.getFiles("*.indd" && "*.indt")' this code is correct or not because my folder have 'indt' file it works fine, but my folder have 'indd' file below error is shown,

And one more doubt, your code is shown 'myTextFile.close()' we have another code as like  'myTextFile.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES)' what is the different between these.

Hi Hasvi,

Try the below code. It will ask you to select a file not a folder.

app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;

var path = File.openDialog("Select file");

myDoc = app.open(new File(path));

myDoc.save(new File(path.toString().replace(myDoc.name, "New Indesign.indd")));

var myTextFile = new File(myDoc.filePath + "/LogReport.csv");

myTextFile.open("w")

myTextFile.write("\nParagraph Style:")

myTextFile.write(myMissingParaStyle)

myTextFile.close();

app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;

Hi chinna,

In below script I have changed library path file only, but its not running.

This code is working fine.

var doc = app.activeDocument;

var library=new File("C:\\Users\\Jayanthi\\Desktop\\test\\Library.indl");//Your library file path.

app.open(library);

asset = app.libraries[0].assets;

for(var i=0;i<asset.length;i++)

{

    try{

        doc.objectStyles.add({name:asset.name});

        }

    catch(e){}

    }

This code is running but object style not created

function ObjectStyleCreation()

{

var library = path.getFiles("*.indl");

library=File(library);

if (!library.exists){   

alert("Library File is Missing");

exit();}   

else

{  

app.open(library);

asset = app.libraries[0].assets;

for(var i=0;i<asset.length;i++)

{

    try{

        doc.objectStyles.add({name:asset.name});

        }

    catch(e){}

    }

}

}

Hi Hasvi,

Function 'ObjectStyleCreation()' hasn't been called anywhere in your script.

Hi chinna,

This is the full script, its running but object style not created.

var path = Folder.selectDialog ("Select folder");

var files = path.getFiles("*.indd" && "*.indt"),

     myDoc = app.open(new File(files));

//~     app.activeDocument.save(path.fsName + "\\" + "NewIndesign"+".indd");

myDoc.save(new File(path + "/" + "New Indesign.indd"));

ObjectStyleCreation();

function ObjectStyleCreation()

{

var library = path.getFiles("*.indl");

library=File(library);

if (!library.exists){   

alert("Library File is Missing");

exit();}   

else

{

app.open(library);

asset = app.libraries[0].assets;

for(var i=0;i<asset.length;i++)

{

    try{

        doc.objectStyles.add({name:asset.name});

        }

    catch(e){}

    }

}

}

doc.objectStyles.add({name:asset.name});

Hi Hasvi,

Replace it with : var files = path.getFiles(/\.(indd?|indt?)$/i );

Hi chinna,

If am running the script again. already 'New Indesign.indd' file in that particular folder, how can we give the alert to message 'Already New Indesign.indd is there' and how can we override the file again the same path with 'New Indesign.indd' this name.

var path = Folder.selectDialog ("Select folder");

var files = path.getFiles(/\.(indd?|indt?)$/i );

     myDocument = app.open(new File(files));

//~     app.activeDocument.save(path.fsName + "\\" + "NewIndesign"+".indd");

myDocument.save(new File(path + "/" + "New Indesign.indd"));

Hi chinna,

    try 

{ 

     myDocument.save(new File(path + "/" + "New Indesign.indd")); 

} 

catch(e) 

{ 

     alert("A document already exists with the given name! Now its going to override"); 

}

alert("A document already exists with the given name! Now its going to override");

var path = Folder.selectDialog ("Select folder");

//~ var files = path.getFiles("*.indd" && "*.indt"),

var files = path.getFiles(/\.(indd?|indt?)$/i );

//~     app.activeDocument.save(path.fsName + "\\" + "NewIndesign"+".indd");

try
