Searching an index

[FesterSXS]

I have a basic search page (text box and submit button) on each of 9 separate PDFs. All these PDFs are in the same folder along with the index file of all the PDFs. They will eventually be put onto a CD for distribution.

The code behind the submit button is as follows:

search.query(this.getField("SearchField").value, "Index", "TPN.pdx");

It isnt working!! If I put the full path to the Index file (TPN.pdx) then it works fine (eg: /C/Temp/TPN.pdx). Since it is going onto CD then I cannot put the full path as this will be different on different workstations.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could get around this problem?

Many thanks

Tony

I got this sorted - the following code lets you specify a path to an index no matter what drive it is in - so long as it is in the same directory as the PDF(s).

if (typeof search != "undefined" && search.available) 
{
  var intLastSlash = this.path.lastIndexOf("/");
  var strPath = this.path.substring(0, intLastSlash); //remove the PDF filename from the path
  var strSearchString = this.getField("SearchField").value;

  if(strSearchString=="")
    app.execMenuItem("Find");  // if search string is empty then just show the standard Acrobat search
  else
    search.query(strSearchString, "Index", strPath + "/TPN.pdx");
}
