How to get the version number of Camera Raw filter

[meadX]

How to get the version number of Camera Raw filter, for example, if the current version number is 15.3, then display a prompt with the version number as "15.3".

JavaScript code to come...

If it is visible under app.systemInformation then a variable and regular expression should be able to show this. I'm not in front of Photoshop right now, however, I'll update this post later.

Thank you for your response.Actually, what I hope to do is to get the version number of the Camera Raw filter through a script, so that I can determine which version of the Camera Raw filter the system is using.

Yes, I understand, that is why I wrote: "JavaScript code to come"...

var sysInfo = app.systemInformation;
var regex = /Camera Raw (\d+\.\d+\.\d+)/;
var match = sysInfo.match(regex);
var acrVers = match[0];
alert(acrVers);

Thank you, this is a good idea to extract the middle text by reading the System Info. But why did this error occur?

What error? Don't send attachments via email, upload them via the browser.

I'm not sure, it obviously works for me:

Okay, thank you for your help. I seem to know the reason now. Perhaps each system has different filters installed, so the content of the system information changes accordingly. Therefore, the text extracted by the regular expression is not accurate. I will think of other solutions and once again, thank you for your help.

[Stephen Marsh]

I don't know of any other method, but perhaps a more robust regular expression can be created.

By hand you can do...

(noticed "Actions and scripting" too late... 😉 )

Yes, I know that it can be done this way, but I am hoping to obtain the version number through a JSX script, so that I can determine which version the system is using.

[Michael Bullo]

Unless I misunderstand your question, the version number is written across the top of the Camera Raw Filter pop up window.
