Reply To: Scripting to Pull Metadata

Something like this:

versionNumber = '';
descr = app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.description;
if (descr !== '') {
  version = descr.match (/ver=([\d.]+)/);
  if (version !== null) {
    versionNumber = version[1];
  }
}

Get the description field from the document’s metadata object
Match digits and dots following ‘ver=’
If there is a match, it’s an array, you want item 1
