file info( or text doc) to text layer

[fotoeros]

I was wondering if it is possible?
I have a stack of images of mushrooms with 3 text layers
1- common name of mushroom
2-Latin name
3-Location

I would like to know if it is possible to read the file info " description" the above 3 line text and copy an paste each line to a specific text layer,
or would it be better to prepare a text file including file name to look up and the 3 text lines

Thanks for any input

Since I'm not sure exactly what you mean, I would ask for additional details here. Maybe an example of what you have, and what you'd like to obtain?

If I understand what you want this should be close
Code: Select allvar doc = app.activeDocument;
// get the mushroom info from the document's description metadata
// and create an array with an element for each line
var infoArray = doc.info.caption.split(/[\r\n]/);
// now use layer names to change the text contents
doc.artLayers.getByName('Common').textItem.contents = infoArray[0];
doc.artLayers.getByName('Latin').textItem.contents = infoArray[1];
doc.artLayers.getByName('Location').textItem.contents = infoArray[2];
