get Text from QRCode

Hi,

A possible approach given that you properly reached the text based QR ode:

//Take care of having a valid reference to the QRCode
//Actually it's a EPS file with some embedded link property
var qRCode = app.selection[0];
//We do export a snippet
var tempFile = File ( Folder.temp+"/qr.idms" );
qRCode.exportFile ( ExportFormat.INDESIGN_SNIPPET , tempFile);
//Snippets are xml files
//And the inner QRCode text is clearly exposed
//So what we need is to load the XML string from file
//and turn it into a regular javascript object
tempFile.encoding = "UTF-8";
tempFile.open("r");
var xObj = XML ( tempFile.read() );
tempFile.close();
tempFile.remove();
//Once that done, it's easy to go and pick the PlainText attribute which hosts the text content
var txt = xObj..@PlainText;
//Finally
if ( txt.length() ) {
alert( txt[0] );
}
else {
alert("No text found sorry" );
}
