WebScript for update file content with a .doc converted file

[weggyboy]

hi, all!
I´m trying to update the content of an existing HTML file in Alfresco with a new converted file content.
The new content should come from a .doc->HTML  file convertion. All this should happen with a webScript.

I cannot just delete the current file, because it is being referenced outside alfresco. So just the content has to be changed, not the file "last:transformed.html".

this is what I´m using, but it doesn´t work.

// check if it is any .doc file in the folder already
// if there is one, delete it
var nodes = space.childrenByXPath("*[@cm:name='.doc']");
for (var i=0; i < nodes.length; i++)
{
   nodes[i].remove();
}

// check if it is a "last_transformed.html" file in the folder already
var lastfile = space.childByNamePath("last_transformed.html");

if (lastfile != null) {
   transformed = document.transformDocument("text/html", space);
   lastfile.content = transformed.content;
   lastfile.save();
   transformed.remove();
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Does anybody have any idea, why it doesn´t work? what am I doing wrong?

problem was solved without childrenByXPath…

thanks anyway.

I tried to duplicate your code; however I am thrown error that says space is not defined.  I thought space was a default root object, do I have to declare this at the beginning of my code??

Within a Web Script context, the space root object is not available in the javascript and freemarker apis.

It's the responsibility of the script to locate any repository objects (based on arguments etc).  companyhome etc are available.
