Save As jpg Script now saving with 'psd.jpg' how can I strip 'psd'

[jimm7497115]

Hi, 

I've been using a script that came from here:

var Name = activeDocument.name;
var jpegfile = new File('D:/folder1/folder2/' + Name);
SaveAsJPEG(jpegfile, 10);
function SaveAsJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality){
var doc = activeDocument;
if (doc.bitsPerChannel != BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT) doc.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality;
activeDocument.saveAs(File(saveFile+".jpg"), jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
}

and it works great, but I wanted to adapt it to a different file that's saved already as .psd file. So, I changed: 
var jpegfile = new File('D:/folder1/folder2/' + Name);
to:

var jpegfile = new File('C:/users/me/Documents/folder2/' + Name);

The problem is now I'm left with '.psd.jpeg' as the file extension. Other than adding a Duplicate document action in a can't fix it. How do I strip '.psd'? 

I've searched but, I'm dyslexic and the answers given to other questions seems very specific to their issue.
 

Thank you.

There are several options. 

You could, for example, slice the String according to the position of ».« – that obviously is if the file’s name contains only one ».«. 

var Name = "hgi aefzieo bgroig.psd";
alert (Name.slice(0,Name.indexOf(".")));

so what do I do with that information? As I said, I don't understand javascript. The files I'm dealing with are "name.psd" and I was hoping for 'just stick this in  on line two' or something.   Thanks.

I use the split function to get rid of extensions. Just change the first line of your script. I should look like this:

var Name = activeDocument.name.split('.')[0];
var jpegfile = new File('D:/folder1/folder2/' + Name);
SaveAsJPEG(jpegfile, 10);
function SaveAsJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality){
var doc = activeDocument;
if (doc.bitsPerChannel != BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT) doc.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality;
activeDocument.saveAs(File(saveFile+".jpg"), jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
}

thank you so much. That works perfectly. :clinking_glasses:

This removes just the file extension if your filename has multiple dots:

var Name = activeDocument.name.split('.');
Name.length --;
Name = Name.join('.');

[Chuck Uebele]

Yes, you are correct. I use this, because I never have multiple dots in my file names. It could be an issue for others.

Yeah I deal with part numbers and those have all sorts of funny naming.
