What type of press are you driving through JDF?
What settings do you have in the configurator and what are you hoping to have happen?

I normally do an entryList on a Dir object for something like this: function timerFired( s : Switch ) { var inFolder = new Dir("C:/Shared"); var fileList = inFolder.entryList("*.pdf", Dir.Files, Dir.Time|Dir.Reversed); s.log(1, "Oldest file in folder is: " + fileList[0]...

you can also use the String.split('_') and Array.join('_') methods to convert these strings into an array and then modify the 3rd instance of the array: var inString = "a1b2c3_DDYYKK_123_ABC_X1Y1Z1"; var strArray = inString.split('_'); strArray[2] = "456"; inString = strArray.joi...

I think you'd have to output it to stdout or stderr and then switch could capture that. It's not going to be able to search through external code to find variables.

I did a little with submit points, but I'm not sure if you can push data back into the submit point GUI. You can capture the data set associated with a submit point like this: var submitData = job.getDataset("Submit"); //"Submit" I believe is the name of your submit point that yo...

I think this is a limitation with the XML Pickup module. Expressions like this can only resolve to a single value, so when an XPath resolves to multiple values it either errors or returns the first value in the list. I think you'll need to use a script expression that evaluates to a node list and th...

Sorry, I thought that's what you wanted based on your description. That actually makes the script a bit easier: function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job ) { var ADD_PAGES = 16; //Open the incoming file as an XML document var xmlDoc = new Document(job.getPath()); //Get the Products nodes var produc...

Don't think this can be done outside of scripting, but here's how you could do it in scripting (assuming the XML is a file coming into the script element): function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job ) { var ADD_PAGES = 16; //Open the incoming file as an XML document var xmlDoc = new Document(job.get...

Just read it in like a normal text file: var xmlString = File.read(job.getPath()); I've used this in the past with regular expressions to find something without knowing where it is in the XML structure, or in XML formats that aren't supported in Switch like cXML. I believe you need to be careful if ...

Yes, I have to do custom authentication so I don't have a choice.

I haven't used make JSON or basic authentication, but I've created a couple scripts that do authenticated RESTful API calls. One takes a .json input file and just attaches it to the HTTP client using: httpClient.setAttachedFile(jsonBodyLoc); //where jsonBodyLoc is the location of the incoming JSON f...

13.04 had a bug that does not support automation (switch or otherwise)

You'll need to upgrade to 13.1 or wait for 14 on cc 2019

You can also have a 2nd flow which is scheduled to start at 20:00, run for a couple minutes and shut down. That's how I've handed this type of thing in the past before they improved the hold element.

You may need to loop through the individual nodes to get each value. Something like function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job ) { //assuming this XML file is coming into the script element as a file instead of metadata var xmlDoc = new Document(job.getPath()); var kindNodes = xmlDoc.evalToNodes(&qu...

I've had a similar issue with the APP store, I think it has something to do with our firewall. With the scripting module you can do something like this: function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job ) { var xmlDoc = new Document(job.getPath()); var journalIdNode = xmlDoc.evalToNode("/issue-xml/jou...
