Script help Works as javascript but not photoshop

[Mattmcquiff]

I'm trying to get these 2 scripts to work together.

this runs in Photoshop fine.

#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
    var myDocument = activeDocument;
    var fileNameNoExtension = myDocument.name;
  fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.split( "." );
  if ( fileNameNoExtension.length > 1 ) {
       fileNameNoExtension.length--;
    }
    fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.join(".");
    var BrandID = fileNameNoExtension.substr(0,4);
    var ItemType = fileNameNoExtension.substr(4,2);
    alert(ItemType)
}

The alert is just for a test run, A file named EM10NW021231.jpg returns the "ItemType" as "NW"

This part of the script runs as javascript

var itemTable = [ 
{itemType: "RI", BorderIncrease:"180"}, 
{itemType: "NW", BorderIncrease:"115"}, 
{itemType: "CL", BorderIncrease:"115"}, 
{itemType: "BW", BorderIncrease:"120"}, 
{itemType: "SC", BorderIncrease:"120"}, 
{itemType: "ER", BorderIncrease:"150"}, 
{itemType: "WW", BorderIncrease:"140"}, 
{itemType: "WA", BorderIncrease:"140"}, 
{itemType: "HR", BorderIncrease:"140"}, 
{itemType: "JM", BorderIncrease:"100"}, 
{itemType: "NA", BorderIncrease:"100"} 
];
var BorderIncrease = itemTable.filter(function ( obj ) { 
    return obj.itemType === "BW"; //BW is to be replaced with ItemType
})[0];
alert(BorderIncrease.BorderIncrease);

How can I link these together where line 16 is to replace the "BW" with the ItemType from the first script?

Many Thanks

Matt

Have you tried the $.evalFile() command? Is there a reason you don't want to combine the scripts into one, and make life easier?

Hi I am trying to combine the 2 scripts. but I get errors  with this line

1. var BorderIncrease = itemTable.filter(function ( obj ) {  
2.     return obj.itemType === "BW"; //BW is to be replaced with ItemType

I am very inexperienced with script, but what does $.evalFile() command mean/do?

Please try this.

#target photoshop  
if (app.documents.length > 0) {  
    var myDocument = activeDocument;  
    var fileNameNoExtension = myDocument.name;  
  fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.split( "." );  
  if ( fileNameNoExtension.length > 1 ) {  
       fileNameNoExtension.length--;  
    }  
    fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.join(".");  
    var BrandID = fileNameNoExtension.substr(0,4);  
    var ItemType = fileNameNoExtension.substr(4,2);  
    alert(ItemType)  
var itemTable = [   
{itemType: "RI", BorderIncrease:"180"},   
{itemType: "NW", BorderIncrease:"115"},   
{itemType: "CL", BorderIncrease:"115"},   
{itemType: "BW", BorderIncrease:"120"},   
{itemType: "SC", BorderIncrease:"120"},   
{itemType: "ER", BorderIncrease:"150"},   
{itemType: "WW", BorderIncrease:"140"},   
{itemType: "WA", BorderIncrease:"140"},   
{itemType: "HR", BorderIncrease:"140"},   
{itemType: "JM", BorderIncrease:"100"},   
{itemType: "NA", BorderIncrease:"100"}   
];  
var BI = BorderIncrease(itemTable, ItemType );
alert(BI);
function BorderIncrease(Arr, Item){
for(var z in Arr){
if(Arr.itemType === Item){
   return Arr.BorderIncrease;
    }
 }
return 0;
}; 
};
