Recoginize file type with expressions?

[Dan Ebberts]

Only if you can deduce it from the name of the source file (probably by looking at the file extension). Here’s an example that should detect PSD files (not tested, so watch out for typos):

mySplit = thisLayer.source.name.split[“.”]; // split source name at “.” characters
myExtension = mySplit[mySplit.length – 1]; // get everything to the right of the last “.”
if (myExtension.toLowerCase() == “psd”){
// it’s a psd file
}else{
// it’s not a psd file
}

Wow, thanks a lot! Just what I needed.

There was one small typo however, it should be (“.”) instead of [“.”] to work:

mySplit = thisLayer.source.name.split(“.”); // split source name at “.” characters
myExtension = mySplit[mySplit.length – 1]; // get everything to the right of the last “.”
if (myExtension.toLowerCase() == “psd”){
// it’s a psd file
}else{
// it’s not a psd file
}

Good catch. I’m glad you figured it out and that it works for you.
