I'm trying to create a script in adobe illustrator that will check if a file name contains "ph" +5 numbers. If it has been found then it will replace a part of a text with the match from the file name.
This is what I have so far I just can't get it to work, the text is replaced with "null"
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var name = doc.name;
var match = name.match(/ph\d{5}/);
for (i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++)
{
doc.textFrames[i].contents = doc.textFrames[i].contents.replace(/ph00000/gi, match);
}
I'd try this:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var match = doc.name.match(/ph\d{5}/);
if (match != null) {
for (i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++) {
doc.textFrames[i].contents = doc.textFrames[i].contents.replace(/ph00000/gi, match[0]);
}
}
