Hi Charles,

you could use the script in <http://www.hilfdirselbst.ch/foren/Bild-Verkn%FCpfungen_erneut_verkn%FCpfen_P210839.html#210839> as a starting point.

You will find some more examples while searching for the keyword 'relink': <http://www.hilfdirselbst.ch/foren/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=forum_4&search_string=relink&search_type=AND&search_fields=b&search_time=&search_user_username=&sb=post_time&mh=50>

Thanks Martin,

is it in German or Russian? i don't understand a word. but i do understand "some" part of the scripts. sorry but i don't know how to modify the script to make it this way:

- Indesign look for the images in .eps (ignore other formats),
- if found - look for the path
- search the whole folder for the words "_web.eps" or "_print.eps"
- if found, change "image01_web.eps" to "image01_print.eps" or vice versa.

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var lk = doc.links;
try{
for(i=0; i<lk.length;i++) { 	lkname =lk[i].name; 	if(lkname.indexOf("_print.eps")>=0)
	{
		var lkname0 = lkname.split("_print.eps")[0];
		lkfolder = File(lk[i].filePath).parent;
		lk[i].relink(File(lkfolder+"/"+lkname0+"_web.eps"));
		lk[i].update();
	}
}
}
catch(e){}

BTW experts,
What's the point of EPSs.count() and how to use it ? I tried to for this script and couldn't take advantage on it.

Hi Charles,

it's in German.
And the comments are in german language too.
But the code of the scripts is international.

You will have to find out whether the name of a link contains '_web.eps'.

 
if (myLinks[i].name.match('_web.eps') != null) 
... 


Then you will have to change the old part of the name with a new part:

 
var newName = myLinks[i].name.replace('_web.eps', '_print.eps'); 


And now you will have to try to relink the link with a file with the new name.

The scripts above should tell you the way to do this.

Ah, Loic has posted the completion while I have been thinking about some details. ;-)

Hi Martin,
It doesn't prevent from posting smarter ways ;-)

Hi Loic,
The script works perfectly. One more thing, can you make it loop so it does on all images? thanks.
Charles

Hi loic/Martin
This is Kasyan's version:

var myImages = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;
for (i = myImages.length-1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
   var myImage = myImages[i].itemLink;
   var myNewName = myImage.filePath.replace(/\_web.eps$/i, "_print.eps");
   var myNewLink = new File (myNewName);
      if (myNewLink.exists) {
         myImage.relink (myNewLink);
         myImage.update();
      }
}

Ah thank God there is a place like this one. Imagine life without adobeforums... sigh... thanks guys.

Hi Charles,
Try this:


 
var myImages = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;
for (i = myImages.length-1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
   var myImage = myImages[i].itemLink;
      if (myImage.filePath.match("_web") != null) {
         var myNewName = myImage.filePath.replace(/_web/, "_print");
      }
      else if (myImage.filePath.match("_print") != null) {
         var myNewName = myImage.filePath.replace(/_print/, "_web");
      }
   var myNewLink = new File (myNewName);
   if (myNewLink.exists) {
    myImage.relink (myNewLink);
    myImage.update();
   }
}

Hi Kasyan,

Thanks for the effort you've been very helpful, thanks.
