add part of filename

[Bardioch]

Heyho,

i´m new in using java script with photoshop and need some help.

I´ve already modyfied a script that creates a new text layer with the filename but now i neet to delete the first word.

For excample: "Cruise Tom" => "Tom"

I´m shure for you guys it´s quiet easy...

If someone could tell me where to insert which lines of code i would be verry thankful!!!

Code: Select all

if ( documents.length > 0 )

{

	var originalDialogMode = app.displayDialogs;

	app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.ERROR;

	var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;

	preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;

	

	try

	{

		var docRef = activeDocument;



		// Now create a text layer at the front

		var myLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();

		myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;

		myLayerRef.name = "Dateiname";

		

		var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;

		

		// strip the extension off

		var fileNameNoExtension = docRef.name;

		fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.split( "." );

		if ( fileNameNoExtension.length > 1 ) {

			fileNameNoExtension.length--;

		}

		fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.join(".");

			

		myTextRef.contents = fileNameNoExtension;

		

		// off set the text to be in the middle

		myTextRef.position = new Array( docRef.width / 2, docRef.height / 2 );

		myTextRef.size = 40;

         myTextRef.font = "Berlin Sans FB Demi";

         myTextRef.justification = Justification.CENTER;         

         

         var newColor = new SolidColor();

         newColor.rgb.red = 80;

         newColor.rgb.green = 42;

         newColor.rgb.blue = 14;

         myTextRef.color = newColor;



	}

	catch( e )

	{

		// An error occurred. Restore ruler units, then propagate the error back

		// to the user

		preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;

        app.displayDialogs = originalDialogMode;

		throw e;

	}



	// Everything went Ok. Restore ruler units

	preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;

	app.displayDialogs = originalDialogMode;

}

else

{

	alert( "You must have a document open to add the filename!" );

}

I think this has a few issues. First, my regular expressions may work, but I think there's something wrong with the pivotal one, and I don't know enough to fix it. Second, this leaves a leading space at the beginning of the text that doesn't need to be there (again, probably my regular expression). I'm sorry, I just don't have time to figure out how to get rid of it. Third, my "finalName" variable has two instances of the truncated file name in it, so I specified to use the first one [0]. That is another thing I think my regular expression may be doing incorrectly.

You also had something that I changed. An if asked about the length of the name, but I changed this to look for if there was a space in the name. If there wasn't, nothing happens, but if there is, the name is changed and the text layer is applied. I think this might be a more reliable way to determine if the first word needs to come off.

Hope it helps.

Bonjour

You can try to insert this code line 28 then you delete the alerts :

Code: Select all

	fileNameNoExtension=fileNameNoExtension.split( " " );

alert(fileNameNoExtension[0]);

alert(fileNameNoExtension[1]);

myLayerRef.name = fileNameNoExtension[1];

 myTextRef.contents = fileNameNoExtension[1];

txuku, this is much better than what I was trying to do.
