October 27, 2021 at 6:26 amHey Andrei, thanks for your response. I didn’t had time to focus on this recently, but few thoughts:
1. When contents of file is read as fileObj.read() – I assume its a plain binary read. Then, what to do with that readed bits, how to make them human-readable?
2. Indeed, dollar like $.evalFile is obsolete and doesn’t work if expression language set to new Javascript. While I am looking how to approach this in scripting, if someone hits that roadblock through expressions – be aware that $.evalFile in expressions works only with expression engine set to “Legacy Extendscript”. While its not a new thing, I just figured out it recently.
