Importing files via Script

medini_1055031935

Hey,

how is it possible to import a file / document (via script) into medini after I created it with a script.

And do I have to delete the original file if it makes a deep copy?

To explain more, I created an excel file via script which I stored in the folder ./docs/ExcelDocument, which I want to import into Medini so it can be seen there.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Jan,

everything works as expected. Thanks for the solution.

For all others I adapted it slightly, so it directly finds the "Documents" folder and imports the document.

My use case was creating a new Excel Document, fill it with information and than import it into Medini.
Creation and filling of the document is disccues in depth in this Post.

The import is then done like this:

function createExcelReport(data) {
	var projectPath = __filedir;

	var date = new java.util.Date();
	var formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss");
	var timeStamp = formatter.format(date);
	var fi


leName = "report_{0}.xlsx".format(timeStamp);
	var excelPath = projectPath.substring(0, projectPath.length -15) + "\\tmp\\" + fileName;
	var file = new java.io.File(new java.lang.String(excelPath));
	if(!file.exists()) {
		createExcelFile(excelPath); //explained in referenced post
	}

	//filData, write your data to the excel file here

	var documents = finder.findByType(Metamodel.projectmodel.PJPackage).find("name", "Documents").first();
	if (!documents) {
		documents = selectElement("Select Documents Folder", Metamodel.projectmodel.PJPackage, false);
		if (!documents) {
			console.log("Canceled by user");
			return;
		}
	}

	var document = importDocument(documents, file); //function in the library provided by Jan
	document.name = fileName;
	file.deleteOnExit(); //This deletes the file in tmp after Medini is closed
}

Best regards and hope I could help
