The function i need to check whether it is already created is in &lt;i&gt;checkFolderExists&lt;/i&gt;, i need a check on &lt;i&gt;!space.parent.childByNamePath(site.toString()).childByNamePath("Contracts").childByNamePath( letter.toLowerCase() ).childByNamePath( vendor)&lt;/i&gt;. I have to make sure vendor exists only once and not in different capitalization.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 07 Feb 2014 11:36:53 GMT sharifu 2014-02-07T11:36:53Z check for duplicate name in javascript https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/check-for-duplicate-name-in-javascript/m-p/299211#M252341 I have the following javascript which i execute on a folder manually in /alfresco. /** *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;validates document metadata and moves to correct folder *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;@author sharifu */ var thirdParties = document.properties["sp:thirdParties"];var letter = "";var location = document.properties["sp:location"];var re Fri, 07 Feb 2014 11:36:53 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/check-for-duplicate-name-in-javascript/m-p/299211#M252341 sharifu 2014-02-07T11:36:53Z Re: check for duplicate name in javascript https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/check-for-duplicate-name-in-javascript/m-p/299212#M252342 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>You can try ScriptNode.childrenByXPath or You can&nbsp; list all children of a folder and&nbsp; find duplicates one by one.</SPAN><BR /></BODY></HTML> Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:01:03 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/check-for-duplicate-name-in-javascript/m-p/299212#M252342 kaynezhang 2014-02-11T10:01:03Z
