Please help me write a photoshop script.

 

First script:
i want to save the currently open tif file with the same name and add the "a" suffix.
Example:
123.tif > 123a.tif

 

Second script:
I want to save the currently open tif file with a rename that removes the last three characters.
Example:
123abc.tif > 123.tif

Correct answer c.pfaffenbichler

I want to remove the characters from the name from "_" to the end of the name


Try 

 

basename = basename.slice(0, basename.indexOf("_"));
