Combining data from iptc fields

Question

Hello group. Happy New Year.
I'm looking for a script which would perform an action of copying data from the city, state/prov and country fields and adding that data to the description field. I still wish to retain the content in the description field. My stock agency is requesting this be done in order to create a more complete picture caption for web display.
Hoping the list can help! Thanks
Don

Sorry about that Don, NEF files are a pain in the backside
Hopefully this code will work for NEF file only!
It update the xmp file so after it has run you would need to refreash the folder (or select a diffirent folder and go back)
#target bridge  
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) { 
combineFields2 = MenuElement.create("command", "NEF Details to Description", "at the end of Tools","cfta2012");
combineFields2.onSelect = function () {
if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
var sels = app.document.selections;
for(var z in sels){
var Name = decodeURI(sels[z].spec.name).replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
var file = File(sels[z].spec.path + "/" + Name +".xmp");
if(file.exists){
     file.open('r');
     file.encoding = "UTF8";
     file.lineFeed = "unix";
     file.open("r", "TEXT", "????");
     var xmpStr = file.read();
     file.close();
     }else{
         var xmpStr='';
     var xmp = new XMPMeta( xmpStr );
var arrItem=[];
var items = xmp.countArrayItems(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description");
for(var i = 1;i <= items;i++){
arrItem.push(xmp.getArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description", i));
try{
var Desc = arrItem.toString();
var City = xmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "City");
var Country = xmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP, "Country");
var Region =  xmp.getProperty(XMPConst.NS_PHOTOSHOP,  "State");
var DescAll = Desc + "\r" +City + "\r" + Region +"\r" + Country;   
xmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC, "description");
xmp.setLocalizedText( XMPConst.NS_DC, "description", null, "x-default", DescAll );
file.open('w');
     file.encoding = "UTF8";
     file.lineFeed = "unix";
     file.write( xmp.serialize() );
     file.close();
     }catch(e){alert(e+"-"+e.line);}
