Photoshop javascript: Open files in all subfolders

hi guys

 

i'm new javascript, , general photoshop scripting. script coming on well, struggle working files , folders. it's lack of basic javascript knowledge, need work on. right now, i'm trying expand image open part of script, opens images regardless of whether in subfolder or not.

 

you can see input folder (c:/input). want able throw files in there, in folders, not. out of interest, outputs combined 1 output folder... bit fine.

 

 

var infolder = new folder("c:/input")
if(infolder != null){
var filelist = infolder.getfiles(/\.(jpg|tif|psd|bmp|gif|png|)$/i);
 }
for(var = 0 ;a < filelist.length; a++)
{
var docref = open(filelist[a]);
 //do things here
}

 

is there easy way of expanding include files in subfolders? advice appreciated.

thanks

david

folder.getfiles() works 1 folder @ time. files in folder in subfolders need scan each subfolder. 1 way recursive function. this:

 

var topfolder = new folder('~/desktop/test'); var fileandfolderar = scansubfolders(topfolder,/\.(jpg|tif|psd|bmp|gif|png|)$/i);  alert('scan of ' + topfolder.fullname + '\n' + fileandfolderar[0].length + ' files\nlast file: ' + decodeuri(fileandfolderar[0][fileandfolderar[0].length-1]));  alert('scan of ' + topfolder.fullname + '\n' + fileandfolderar[1].length + ' folders\nlast folder: ' + decodeuri(fileandfolderar[1][fileandfolderar[1].length-1])); function scansubfolders(tfolder, mask) { // folder object, regexp or string     var sfolders = new array();      var allfiles = new array();      sfolders[0] = tfolder;      (var j = 0; j < sfolders.length; j++){ // loop through folders                      var procfiles = sfolders[j].getfiles();          (var i=0;i<procfiles.length;i++){ // loop through folder contents              if (procfiles[i] instanceof file ){                 if(mask==undefined) allfiles.push(procfiles[i]);// if no search mask collect files                 if (procfiles[i].fullname.search(mask) != -1) allfiles.push(procfiles[i]); // otherwise match mask         }else if (procfiles[i] instanceof folder){             sfolders.push(procfiles[i]);// store subfolder             scansubfolders(procfiles[i], mask);// search subfolder          }       }     }     return [allfiles,sfolders];  };
