Trouble with accented letters

[Grandeforedit]

Hi Community,

Here's a simple script to change extension links from uppercase to lower and relink.

Everything seems right but I'm in trouble with accented letters in link name.

I know it's a path problem and i've tryied with decodeURI() but no way.

Thanks in advance

Mario

var myLinks = app.activeDocument.links;

for (i = 0; i < myLinks.length; i++) {

var nomeLink = myLinks[i].name;

var extPosizione = nomeLink.lastIndexOf(".");

var extLink = nomeLink.slice(extPosizione);

var nomeNoExt = nomeLink.slice(0, extPosizione);

if (extLink == extLink.toUpperCase()) {

var nomeOrExt = nomeNoExt + "x" + extLink.toLowerCase();

File(myLinks[i].filePath).rename(nomeOrExt);

var nuovoLink = new File(myLinks[i].filePath.replace(nomeLink, nomeOrExt));

myLinks[i].relink(nuovoLink);

myLinks[i].update();

} else {}

}

If you work on a Mac, the problem may be that the Mac OS decomposes accented characters (into the base character and the accent) in file and folder names. I don't use a Mac and I've no idea how to work around it. Maybe a Mac user has an idea.

Yes Peter, I'm workin' on mac.

Thanks for your reply. I work around it and it seems do it well (I hope).

var myLinks = app.activeDocument.links;

for (i = 0; i < myLinks.length; i++) {

var nomeLink = myLinks[i].name;

var extPosizione = nomeLink.lastIndexOf(".");

var extLink = nomeLink.slice(extPosizione);

var nomeNoExt = nomeLink.slice(0, extPosizione);

if (extLink == extLink.toUpperCase()) {

var nomeOrExt = nomeNoExt + "x" + extLink.toLowerCase();

File(myLinks[i].filePath).rename(nomeOrExt)

var nuovoLink = decodeURI(File(myLinks[i].filePath));

var newLink = nuovoLink.substring(0, nuovoLink.lastIndexOf('/'));

myLinks[i].relink(File(newLink + "/" + nomeOrExt));

myLinks[i].update();

} else { }

}
