Does the || act as OR in a function? I wrote the below script and it only works as long as it is the first option for some of the people I have to do it this way because some of the people use 2-3 surnames depending on what they are doing.
//function to save a pdf to the users desktop, this only works if they put in the correct set of initials when the pallet comes up
#target illustrator
saveFileToPDF ()
function saveFileToPDF () // saves the file to the server as a .PDF document.
{ if (globalartistname == null) { globalartistname = prompt ("enter your artist initials"); }//end if null //alert ("You user name is -- " + globalartistname) var thisDoc = app.activeDocument; if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) { var filename = app.activeDocument.name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, ''); switch (globalartistname) { case ( "drs" || "DRS"): var saveName = new File ("REQUESTED LOCATION" + filename); break; case ( "cel" || "CEL"): //alert ("made it to CEL"); var saveName = new File ("REQUESTED LOCATION" + filename); break; case ( "rmonta" || "Rmonta" || "RMONTA"): var saveName = new File ("REQUESTED LOCATION" + filename); break; case ( "ajh" || "AJH"): // alert ("made it to AJH"); var saveName = new File ("REQUESTED LOCATION" + filename); break; case ( "rob" || "ROB"): var saveName = new File ("REQUESTED LOCATION" + filename); break; case ( "jdw" || "JDW"): var saveName = new File ("REQUESTED LOCATION" + filename); break; case ( "tmm" || "TMM"): var saveName = new File ("REQUESTED LOCATION" + filename); break; case ( "jr" || "JR"): var saveName = new File ("REQUESTED LOCATION" + filename); break; }//end switch saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions(); saveOpts.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT6; saveOpts.generateThumbnails = true; saveOpts.preserveEditability = true; thisDoc.saveAs( saveName, saveOpts ); }//end if
}//end function
