KB213989543: Automation Engine - Can I use File Size as a SmartName

Description

I would like to retrieve and use the size of a file (in MB/KB) as a SmartName. How can I do that?

Procedure

This can be achieved by setting up a Script SmartName with the following content:

var localfile = "<<filespec/>>".replace("file://", "//");
var file = new java.io.File(localfile);

var bytes = file.length()
var kbytes = bytes / 1024;
var mbytes = kbytes / 1024;

mbytes.toFixed(2);

(use kbytes.toFixed(2); or bytes.toFixed(2); as last line instead of mbytes.toFixed(2); to get the value in kbytes or bytes instead of mbytes).

Esko does not provide or support Scripts, or guarantee the expected functioning of user scripts. This page merely serves as a tip.
