help with rule set up

I'm trying to create a rule that will read the content for the pdf and move it to the correct folder base on the date found. I use the following applescript to create the custom tokens:

Code: Select all: set itemPath to quoted form of POSIX path of theFile set res to do shell script "/usr/local/bin/pdftotext " & itemPath & " - | awk '/through/{print $7, $5}; NR == 10 {exit}'" return {hazelExportTokens:{ctkYear:word 1 of res, ctkMMM:word 2 of res}}

The token ctkYear returns the 4 digit year and ctkMMM returns the month spelled out (i.e. "July", "May", "April", etc). I then use "Sort into subfolder" with the custom token to move the file into subfolder "yyyy/mm"

Since I wanted the folder to be numeric, I added "Replace text" for the token "ctkMMM" to convert the month into digits (i.e "July" -> 07).

However, it is not picking up the replace text at all and keep moving the the file into folder "May" instead of "05". I also noticed in the log file that it's complaining about "bad file descriptor".

What am i doing wrong?

You should do the substitution in the script if possible. Exported tokens are shown as-is and ignores any formatting you do in Hazel. There were issues before when Hazel did format exported tokens so the code path was changed so that it short-circuited all that.
