Replacing Text

[Jen]

Is it possible to do something like this with JavaScript?

If doc.Folder = "Select Doc Type"
Change doc.Folder to = "Journal Invoice"

I have been playing around with this, and just can't seem to get the
right syntax.

Thanks!

What have you tried?

I have tried:
If doc.Folder = "Select Doc Type"
then doc.Folder = "AR Invoice";

var rename = doc.Folder

If rename = "Select Doc Type"
doc.Folder = "AR Invoice";

I am really not good at writing code, so I am sure that these aren't
even close to being correct.

Have you considered learning Javascript? It would help a lot.

I wouldn't say you're not good at writing code.
What you're really bad at seems to be research.

The Javascript "if..else" syntax is described here:

The comparison operators are here:

if ( doc.Folder == "Select Doc Type" ) {
doc.Folder = "AR Invoice";
}

Or:

doc.Folder =
doc.Folder.replace(/^Select Doc Type$/,'AR Invoice';
