Action File to XML script not working

[Bex5E99]

I am trying to convert a photoshop action to a script so I can replace the filename in save steps with the variable for the current photoshop document but I cannot seem to convert my ATN file to an XML file in order to code this. 

I tried using the script and steps listed here:  What is an ATN File? 

but I keep getting an error message when opening the script in photoshop. Am I missing a step? Please help!

On a mac using Photoshop 2021 for reference.

Error message:

Error 8: Syntax Error

Line: 35

->        var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;

It sound like you are referring to Xtools apps. I believe the script you should use is "ActionFileToJavascript.jsx"  to convert an  Action to a photoshop script  that you can then add logic into it to name output files with an appropriate file name. I have not user XTool script is some time  I would think they should still work work even though they are 5 years old.

Why not share the action file so that others can try converting it?

You need a more updated version of xtools from here:

(version 2.3 is the one you want)

Thank you! Yes it seems the version I was trying to use was outdated and I couldn't find the most updated one.

This worked!!!

The code from error you posted is common for javascript when creating websites, not for extenscript for Ps.
