Check the specific name of the prefix in the name of the active document.

Hello everyone! How to check if the name of the active document is prefixed with "[OK!]"?

Example: [OK!] MyDocument_01.

Grateful for the help!

You need to escape [] and also remove the unwanted spaces in the regex. Try the following

if (activeDocument.name.match (/^\[OK!\]/)){alert ("true")}

Could be as simple as a strict regex match. You might want to read up on that stuff and possibly additional string processing.

I tried something like this, but to no avail.

if (activeDocument.name.match (/ ^ [OK!] /)) {alert ("true")}
