Visualizaçõesjavascript- replace text with part of the file name
I'm trying to create a script in adobe illustrator that will check if a file name contains "ph" +5 numbers. If it has been found then it will replace a part of a text with the match from the file name.
This is what I have so far I just can't get it to work, the text is replaced with "null"
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var name = doc.name;
var match = name.match(/ph\d{5}/);
for (i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++)
{
doc.textFrames[i].contents = doc.textFrames[i].contents.replace(/ph00000/gi, match);
}

You can encapsulate the text that you want to replace with group constructs, and since you're using String.prototype.replace, you can capture the parenthesized group and pass the callback function as the 2nd argument in your .replace function.
Read more about it here
Example:
const textString = "This is ph54321 or ph12345";
const newString1 = textString.replace(/(ph)\d{5}/gi, function (matches, p1) {
return p1 + "appended"; // "This is phappended or phappended"
});
const newString2 = textString.replace(/ph(\d{5})/gi, function (matches, p1) {
return "BIGPH" + p1; // "This is BIGPH54321 or BIGPH12345"
});
console.log({newString1});
console.log({newString2});

I'd try this:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var match = doc.name.match(/ph\d{5}/);
if (match != null) {
for (i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++) {
doc.textFrames[i].contents = doc.textFrames[i].contents.replace(/ph00000/gi, match[0]);
}
}
