Hi!



I'm looking for a script that can replace my "condition with variables". We receive single paged pdf's and the name of the file determine if it's a odd or even page.



I have created a "condition with variables", but I assume this can be done in a script instead. We are using PowerSwitch.



The condition with variables goes like this (even pages):



Job Name Contains 02.pdf

OR

Job Name Contains 04.pdf

OR

Job Name Contains 06.pdf

and so on...



I'm a newbie regarding scripts but are fascinated about the possibilities, and are eager to understand more Therefore it would be great if someone in this forum could help me.



Kind regards

Frode,



You can for sure do this with a script, but why would you go there? I'm relatively certain you can also accomplish what you want with a simple file name filter using regular expressions and that wouldn't involve scripting at all.



I'm not an expert on writing regular expressions without trying them, but something like this:



".*[24680].pdf"



would match any filename that ends on "2.pdf", "4.pdf" and so on.

Hi David,



".[24680].pdf" did it, perfect!!



But that's nothing compared to the fact that your answer gave me the key to understand regular expressions, hurray!



Thanks a lot!



Frode

My pleasure!



There are a couple of very good websites regarding regular expressions around, even including (I seem to remember) sites that let you try things out and stuff like that.
