I went to the knowledge base and grabbed a fresh copy of the Business Card
Repeat.zip file. Open it and modified the OnJobStart rule as such:
I'm getting similar errors that I had in my modified version. The first
error is:
OnJobStart, line 31: Error: File operation open failed
and a similar error around 38..
I did doubled checked that the folder is chmod 777 just to be sure.
Referencing the Mozilla docs on File() I changed it to use of.canWrite
That took care of the those file errors.
It now makes it to line 43 and kicks out this error:
OnJobStart, line 43: TypeError: sf.records[0] has no properties
sf is a reference to the original input file. This is where I began
modifying all the code to use the newer ExternalDataFileEx rather than
ExternalDataFile. This way I can use the properties of sf.recordCount.
I also modified the print commands to be Print since javascript is case
sensitive. The only other change I made was just a file name passed the
File(). The moz docs state that without the path it'll use the current
directory. This should simplify things a bit, assuming FP runs the js
in the curdir.
I'm back to square one. Any thoughts?
