loadin another script

[cmoke73]

Hi.

Can I determine the location of the currently running script? I need the "filePath".

My intension:

The script is running and changes/makes things in InDesign. Then I want it to load another script from the same folder which one does its own work.

Try $.fileName

-Manan

That´s not bad. But I need only the path, without the name. Is that possible?

[Manan Joshi · Accepted solution]

var path = new File($.fileName);

var filePath = path.parent

-Manan

Thanks Manan.

I make it like:

        var thisScript = new File($.fileName);
        var thisScriptPath = thisScript.parent;
        var newScript = File(thisScriptPath + "/newFileName.jsx");

it´s perfect!

I do it like this:

var globalScriptPath = getScriptPath().path;

function getScriptPath() {

try {

     return app.activeScript;

} catch(e) {

     return File(e.fileName);

}

}

Hey Stafan:

der sagt mit hierbei:

"Skript kann in Zielengine "main" nicht ausgeführt werden! (cannot execute in main-engine)

(#21) undefined is not an object"
