comparing string function for .jxs

[salshaw749]

Hey everyone,

I'm using indesign script which is ( .jsx )  and it's totally diffrent from (.js).  Anyhow, are there any alternative for [ includes() or and comparing string function??]. I've tried 

if ("somedata" in path)

but it passes every time even if it's not in! 

i want to compare between image pathes.

thanks all.

Look at the String.indexOf and String.match methods here: https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#String.html

if (str1.indexOf("str2") >= 0 ) 

or 

if (str1.match(/regularExpression/)

Also:

Make sure you really have a string in your path variable and not a folder or a file object.
