Hello,

I have a JSX script in "My Documents\Adobe Scripts" to make it trusted script. I have another text file I need to read from JSX. Since the location depends on logged in user, I need to find the windows username. If anyone know how to get the windows username from jsx please reply.

Thank you very much.

Regards

Nima.

Hey,

You can get username like this:

var myUsername = $.getenv('username');

You could also get My Documents folder like this:

var myDocFolder = Folder.myDocuments;

Hope that helps.

How about the username on a Mac?

Well, which system name? There are a few different ones. I'd use

app.doScript('do shell script "hostname"', ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE);

But you can also do tricks in the filesystem with resolving : paths...

Thank you so much,

I've used the file system tricks for getting the exact results.

if (File.fs == "Windows" ) {
    var myUserName = $.getenv('username');
    var mySysName = $.getenv('computername');
    }
else if (File.fs == "Macintosh") {
           var myUserName = $.getenv('USER');
           var mySysName = app.doScript('do shell script "hostname"', ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE);
    }

Thanks once again........
