I've changed it to this now.
It still prompts: writeFile failed:file.open is not a function!
publib.jsx

function getJson() {
//Getting the contents of a Json
pathToMyJSONFile = File($.fileName).parent.parent + '/PubLib/my.json';
myJSONObject = parseJSON(pathToMyJSONFile);
if (!myJSONObject)
return alert('Could not load json file (' + pathToMyJSONFile + ').');
oldCode = myJSONObject.oldCode;
exPDFname = myJSONObject.exPDFname;
}
function readFile(path) {
var file = File(path);
if (!file.exists)
return;
file.open('r');
var content = file.read();
file.close();
return content;
};
// parse a json file
function parseJSON(path) {
var json = readFile(path);
if (!json)
return;
try {
return JSON.parse(json);
}
catch (error) {
alert('Failed to parse JSON (' + error.message + ')');
}
};
function writeFile(file, data, append) {
var success,
writeMode = append == true ? 'a' : 'w',
bom = "\uFEFF";
if (file.constructor.name == 'String')
file = File(file);
try {
file.open(writeMode);
file.encoding = "UTF-8";
success = file.write(bom + data);
file.close();
}
catch (error) {
success = false;
alert('writeFile failed: ' + error.message);
}
if (success)
return file;
};
// write an object to file as json string
function writeJSON(file, obj) {
if ('String' === file.constructor.name)
file = File(file);
try {
// convert object to json string
var json = JSON.stringify(obj, undefined, '\t');
} catch (error) {
return alert('Failed to stringify object.');
}
var jsonFile = writeFile(file, json);
return jsonFile
};
// create a folder
function createFolder(folderName) {
var SCRIPTS_FOLDER = decodeURI(Folder.desktop);
var folder1 = Folder(SCRIPTS_FOLDER + "/" + folderName);
//Check if it exist, if not create it.
if (!folder1.exists)
folder1.create();
if (!folder1.exists)
alert("You need to run this script as Administrator\nThe folder was NOT created");
};
