File Name from Character through hard return. Almost there.

Hi all! I have a script that is naming my files by the characters in two text frames.
It works... to a point.
For some reason it is duplicating the name.
This is the final result. > test-2-wealth-file-stuff,2-wealth-file-+-stuff.jpg
when it should be this. > test-2-wealth-file-stuff.jpg
for some reason it is adding > ,2-wealth-file-+-stuff
any idea why? Thanks in advance.
main ();
function main() {
var curDoc = app.activeDocument;
// loop through all pages
for ( var i = 0; i < curDoc.pages.length; i++ ) {
    // the current page
    var curPage = curDoc.pages[i];
    var pName = curPage.name;
    // controls the loop
    var controller = true;
    // all paragraphs on the current page
  var allPages = (curPage.textFrames.everyItem().paragraphs[0]); {
pageName=allPages.characters.itemByRange(0,allPages.contents.toString().indexOf("^p") -1);
  var paraName = "" + pageName.contents;
var paraString = "-" + paraName.replace( /\s+$/ , "" ).replace( /\s+/g , "-" ).toLowerCase().replace('+', '');
var folderPath = "~/-client/" ;
        var appendix = paraString;
    var filePath = folderPath + "/" + curDoc.name.replace(/\.indd$/,"") + appendix + ".jpg";
    var myFile = File( filePath );
    with ( app.jpegExportPreferences) {
        jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.MAXIMUM; // low medium high maximum
        exportResolution = 72;
        jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.exportRange;
        pageString = pName;
    curDoc.exportFile( ExportFormat.jpg, myFile, false );
  } // end for > pages
} // end for > main

Hello cathykka,
sorry, if I misunderstood your post.
Quick & dirty
You could replace these lines:
// all paragraphs on the current page
var allPages = (curPage.textFrames.everyItem().paragraphs[0]); {
    pageName=allPages.characters.itemByRange(0,allPages.contents.toString().indexOf("^p") -1);
    var paraName = "" + pageName.contents;
with this:
// all paragraphs on the current page
var allPages = (curPage.textFrames[0].lines[0]); {
    var paraName = allPages.contents;
There are some other things to do, but at first this should help.
If not, please upload an example idml.
Have fun

  • How can I assign image file name from Main() class

    I am trying to create library class which will be accessed and used by different applications (with different image files to be assigned). So, what image file to call should be determined by and in the Main class.
    Here is the Main class
    import org.me.lib.MyJNIWindowClass;
    public class Main {
    public Main() {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    MyJNIWindowClass mw = new MyJNIWindowClass();
    mw.s = "clock.gif";
    And here is the library class
    package org.me.lib;
    public class MyJNIWindowClass {
    public String s;
    ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/" + s);
    public MyJNIWindowClass() {
    JLabel jl = new JLabel(image);
    JFrame jf = new JFrame();
    jf.add(jl);
    jf.setVisible(true);
    jf.pack();
    I do understand that when I am making reference from main() method to MyJNIWindowClass() s first initialized to null and that is why clock could not be seen but how can I assign image file name from Main() class for library class without creating reference to Main() from MyJNIWindowClass()? As I said, I want this library class being accessed from different applications (means different Main() classes).
    Thank you.

    Your problem is one of timing. Consider this simple example.
    public class Example {
        public String s;
        private String message = "Hello, " + s;
        public String toString() {
            return message;
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Example ex = new Example();
            ex.s = "world";
            System.out.println(ex.toString());
    }When this code is executed, the following happens in order:
    1. new Example() is executed, causing an object to constructed. In particular:
    2. field s is given value null (since no value is explicitly assigned.
    3. field message is given value "Hello, null"
    4. Back in method main, field s is now given value "world", but that
    doesn't change message.
    5. Finally, "Hello, null" is output.
    The following fixes the above example:
    public class Example {
        private String message;
        public Example(String name) {
            message = "Hello, " + name;
        public String toString() {
            return message;
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Example ex = new Example("world");
            System.out.println(ex.toString());
    }

  • How to get the target file name from an URL?

    Hi there,
    I am trying to download data from an URL and save the content in a file that have the same name as the file on the server. In some way, what I want to do is pretty similar to what you can do when you do a right click on a link in Internet Explorer (or any other web browser) and choose "save target as".
    If the URL is a direct link to the file (for example: http://java.sun.com/images/e8_java_logo_red.jpg ), I do not have any problem:
    URL url = new URL("http://java.sun.com/images/e8_java_logo_red.jpg");
    System.out.println("Opening connection to " + url + "...");
    // Copy resource to local file                   
    InputStream is = url.openStream();
    FileOutputStream fos=null;
    String fileName = null;
    StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(url.getFile(), "/");
    while (st.hasMoreTokens())
                    fileName=st.nextToken();
    System.out.println("The file name will be: " + fileName);
    File localFile= new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"), fileName);
    fos = new FileOutputStream(localFile);
    try {
        byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
        int i = 0;
        while ((i = is.read(buf)) != -1) {
            fos.write(buf, 0, i);
    } catch (Throwable e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if (is != null)
            is.close();
        if (fos != null)
            fos.close();
    }Everything is fine, the file name I get is "e8_java_logo_red.jpg", which is what I expect to get.
    However, if the URL is an indirect link to the file (for example: http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=37719 , which link to a file named JavaSetup6u18-rv.exe ), the similar code return AutoDL?BundleId=37719 as file name, when I would like to have JavaSetup6u18-rv.exe .
    URL url = new URL("http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=37719");
    System.out.println("Opening connection to " + url + "...");
    // Copy resource to local file                   
    InputStream is = url.openStream();
    FileOutputStream fos=null;
    String fileName = null;
    StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(url.getFile(), "/");
    while (st.hasMoreTokens())
                    fileName=st.nextToken();
    System.out.println("The file name will be: " + fileName);
    File localFile= new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"), fileName);
    fos = new FileOutputStream(localFile);
    try {
        byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
        int i = 0;
        while ((i = is.read(buf)) != -1) {
            fos.write(buf, 0, i);
    } catch (Throwable e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if (is != null)
            is.close();
        if (fos != null)
            fos.close();
    }Do you know how I can do that.
    Thanks for your help

    Thanks for your answer.
    By following your idea, I found out that one of the header ( content-disposition ) can contain the name to be used if the file is downloaded. Here is the full code that allow you to download locally a file on the Internet:
          * Download locally a file from a given URL.
          * @param url - the url.
          * @param destinationFolder - The destination folder.

         public static final File downloadFile(URL url, File destinationFolder) throws IOException {
              URLConnection urlC = url.openConnection();
              InputStream is = urlC.getInputStream();
              FileOutputStream fos = null;
              String fileName = getFileName(urlC);
              destinationFolder.mkdirs();
              File localFile = new File(destinationFolder, fileName);
              fos = new FileOutputStream(localFile);
              try {
                   byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
                   int i = 0;
                   while ((i = is.read(buf)) != -1) {
                        fos.write(buf, 0, i);
              } finally {
                   if (is != null)
                        is.close();
                   if (fos != null)
                        fos.close();
              return localFile;
          * Returns the file name associated to an url connection.<br />
          * The result is not a path but just a file name.

         private static final String getFileName(URLConnection urlC) throws IOException {
              String fileName = null;
              String contentDisposition = urlC.getHeaderField("content-disposition");
              if (contentDisposition != null) {
                   fileName = extractFileNameFromContentDisposition(contentDisposition);
              // if the file name cannot be extracted from the content-disposition
              // header, using the url.getFilename() method
              if (fileName == null) {
                   StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(urlC.getURL().getFile(), "/");
                   while (st.hasMoreTokens())

  • Retrieve file name from full file path

    I am trying to retrieve a file name from a path (ex. c:\temp\tes.txt) using the following code, but it is given me an error of "The method split(String) in the type String is not applicable for the arguments (char).
    {code}
    String filepath = item.getName();
    String[] buf = filepath.split('/');
    String filename = buf[buf.length-1];
    {code}
    I tried to use double quote instead of single quote, but it is not returning anything.
    {code}
    String[] buf = filepath.split("/");
    {code}
    Anyone knows why? Thanks.

    How is this related to JDBC?
    Anyway, is the path separator actually a forward slash? Isn't it a backward slash?
    If you're using Apache Commons FileUpload (which I guess, the 'item.getName()' is recognizeable), then just read their FAQ: [http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/faq.html#whole-path-from-IE].

  • How to delete file names from Adobe Reader list

    How can I delete file names from the Adobe Reader list?  I have deleted the file & it's empty, but deleted file names remain in my list & it's very annoying.  I can't seem to find an option anywhere to delete the file names.

    Thanks for the answer, I will try this & post my results with this method.  I have set the amount to zero, & it seems if I want to put back valid files into my list I first need to find them in another file in my pc, such as documents, open them in Adobe Reader, & then then they will reappear in the Adobe Reader list.  Is this correct?  Thank you!
    This seems to be the case, you need to restore each file you want in your list one by one by accessing them elsewhere on your pc, & then you must open them with Adobe Reader to have files reappear in your Adobe Reader list.  However, this seems to be a tedious process if you only want to delete one obsolete file from your list by first emptying the list & rebuilding it file by file.  It works, but I'm wondering if there is a more sensible & efficient way to do this?

  • File name from an attribute of an element of the payload

    Dear Experts,
    Could you suggest the syntax for specifying the file name from a variable in the file receiver communication channel? I need to grab the file name from an ATTRIBUTE of an element of the payload.
    Thanks a lot.
    Example: Need to pass the attribute "descReceipt" of the element "promotionEvent" to the variable in the following payload:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <promotionExport>
    <promotionEvent eventIdentifier="30" status="A" descReceipt="FILE1">

    The scenario is IDOC to FILE. I need to get the value of the receiving partner.
    The message header has the node "DynamicConfiguration". Please see the xml below. I need to grab the key RCVPRN (0000002104) from this and pass as the file name in the receiver file adapter.
    How do I setup my receiver file adapter for this? I tried changing the values for the variable, and also enabling the adapter specific message attributes. No solution yet.
