Hi,

I need lastIndexOf ("/") of myDocPath, but the line gives me error all the time. Is it because of '/', but shouldn't it be perceived as a string since it's in the double quotes. Here is my script:

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myDocPath = myDoc.path;
var myFolderSplit = myDocPath.lastIndexOf ("/")

and it brakes at the green line. How can I get around it.

Thank you very much for your help.

Correct answer Kasyan Servetsky

Do you want to get path to the folder in which myDoc is located?

Document doesn't have path property. However, I don't understand what you want to get in myFolderSplit .

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myDocPath = myDoc.filePath.absoluteURI;
var myFolderSplit = myDocPath.lastIndexOf("/");

I need the part of the path to the last '/' and index of it should give me the number of characters in the path to that point.
