File Directory in Javascript

Post by PaulHough »

So I have been working on a script that will pull old job folders from several directories based on the job number passed from switch. Everything is working great, but I ran into a snag. Some of the folders are named with a "_Customer Name" and some are not. The script works as is should for the folders WITHOUT the "_customer Name" but fails to retrieve the folders WITH "_Customer Name".





What I Assume I should do is get a directory of each path (var locObj[] ) then do a match against my job Number. but, i can not for the life of me figure out how to get a directory out of javascript.



Or, Am i over thinking it?





Attached is the current script



// Is invoked each time a new job arrives in one of the input folders for the flow element.

// The newly arrived job is passed as the second parameter.

function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job )

{

//Total Number of Locations//

var NumberOfLocations = 22;

//Location Paths//



var LocObj = [];

LocObj['Location1']= "/Volumes/prep_files/Jobs/";

LocObj['Location2']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Xitron_Backups/";

LocObj['Location3']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/1016001 - 1017000/";

LocObj['Location4']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/1015001 - 1016000/";

LocObj['Location5']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/1014001 - 1015000/";

LocObj['Location6']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/1013001 - 1014000/";

LocObj['Location7']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/1012001 - 1013000/";

LocObj['Location8']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/1011001 - 1012000/";

LocObj['Location9']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/1010001 - 1011000/";

LocObj['Location10']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/1009001 - 1010000/";

LocObj['Location11']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/1008001 - 1009000/";

LocObj['Location12']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/1007001 - 1008000/";

LocObj['Location13']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/1006001 - 1007000/";

LocObj['Location14']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/1005001 - 1006000/";

LocObj['Location19']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/1000000 - 1001000/";

LocObj['Location20']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Archived Jobs/• Prinergy_Backups/500000 (Online Orders)/";

LocObj['Location21']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/DONTUSE/"

LocObj['Location22']= "/Volumes/prepress_files/Transfer/• Prepress/Prepress_Files_Programs/Switch Backup/NoJob";





// Switch metadata with history number//

var JobNumber = job.getVariableAsString('[Metadata.Text:Path="/field-list/field[2]/field-list/field/value",Dataset="Submit",Model="XML"]');

This script expression will return all of the subdirectory names in "/Server/files" directory.



var theDir = new Dir("/Server/files");

var theEntries = theDir.entryList("*", Dir.Dirs, Dir.Name);

var list = new Array;

for (var i = 0; i < theEntries.length; i++) {

if (theEntries == '.' || theEntries == "..")

continue;

list.push(theEntries);

}

list;

Thanks for the help.

var theDir = new Dir("/Server/files");

var theEntries = theDir.entryList("*", Dir.Dirs|Dir.NoDotAndDotDot, Dir.Name);

var list = new Array;

for (var i = 0; i < theEntries.length; i++)

list.push(theEntries);

list;





i shortened your code to get rid of this "." and ".." test which is not needed when using the Dir.NoDotAndDotDot filter



Cheers,
