JavaScript: Validate Path - CornedBee can you help? [URGENT]

I need to validate a folder path before I do a save as in Acrobat 5.0.
I have developed the code to perform the saveas, I just need the
validation and filename generation code.

How do I access the file system with JavaScript?

Also, I need to check for the largest filename (numeric) for the auto filename generation script.
ex. validate path.
/D/Development/UserName/

ex. check file names in that directory (if valid).
123452003.pdf
123462003.pdf
123472003.pdf

Then generate the next file name and save.
/D/Development/UserName/1234832003.pdf

Thanks for any assistance.

Does anyone know how to access folders? I need to save a pdf
file, but I need to test if the path is valid first. This is really URGENT!!!

How about running an exe or bat file from JavaScript???

JavaScript itself cannot access the filesystem. Actually JavaScript itself can't do anything.

I don't know what objects Adobe Acrobat provides to its JavaScript, you'd have to look that up in a reference.

For the other part, read every parseInt(filename) into an array and search for the largest, it's really simple.

Combine ASP FSO with JS, and you should get what you need...

Cheers!

CornedBee:
I havent found anything on JavaScript accessing the file system in
the "Acrobat Forms JavaScript Object Specification #5186".
It is the main reference guide for writing JavaScript for Acrobat.

How do I write the ASP FSO to accomplish this?
Can you get me started in the right direction?

Thanks.

CornedBee:
The parseInt() function will be perfect for generating the filename.

Thanks.

Then chances are that you can't do it, sorry.

You see, JavaScript itself doesn't have much. The only built-in objects are String, Array, Date, Math and maybe one or two more, but nothing special. All other objects must be provided by the host application, be that a web browser, an office suite or Adobe Acrobat. So if Acrobat doesn't provide a filesystem object or a way to access Windows Scripting Host (ActiveX Automation) objects, I fear there is no way to access the filesystem.
