Re: using metadata in a new file
I checked the dataset name and it is "XML". After adding in the log command I get a warning about an invalid XML document. I decide to export the XML to a new dataset and get the script to read that newly created dataset but it still errors. All this is done within the flow and it is being...

Re: using metadata in a new file
Hi Freddy, Thanks for that, but I must be missing it still as the changes still error. Here's what I've got: var dataset = job.getDataset("XML"); var xml = new Document(dataset.getPath()); var JobCode = xml.evalToString("/Job/@JobCode"); var textFile = new File(s.createPathWithNa...

Re: inserting same PDF multiple times to another PDF
Thanks for the advice.
The insert page, whilst common throughout the document, changes depending on the input xml so it's not a fixed file. This will rule out a Pitstop action?
I am currently doing the second option of assembling the pages but I was just trying to speed things up.

inserting same PDF multiple times to another PDF

At the moment an existing PDF is split to single pages and then using a Python script I add in the a new library PDF page to every split PDF.

Re: Filter XML node by type then use IF THEN
HI, I've been looking to improve/simplify the script by using a using search/replace via dictionary/key so that the same words are replaced throughout the whole xml. I've probably got it all wrong but here's what I've got so-far that doesn't work. Any ideas? function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Jo...

Re: Filter XML node by type then use IF THEN
Hi,
Yes I do have the scripting module.
I start with:
function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job )
{
var dataset = job.getDataset("Xml");
var xml = new Document(dataset);
var Stock = xml.evalToString(/Request/Items/Item/Extrinsic[@Type='Stock']);
but it errors.... clearly it's wrong

Re: Filter XML node by type then use IF THEN
Hi,
Could you clarify "XML class within scripter". I've never done anything like this before.
Thanks
Andrew

Filter XML node by type then use IF THEN
I have an XML with multiple nodes that are "Extrinsic" and need to filter it to one node of Type 'X'. Once that has been filtered correctly I need to use IF THEN see what the variable is and then use a NEW variable further in the process.
Can this be done via scripting?

PDF page count
I'm trying to get a script to run that has the total page count as a variable that I can use from an input PDF
Can anybody help with the correct expression to use to create this as a variable. I keep failing.
TIA for your help
