ORIGINAL DOS BATCH - Works!With help from Foxidrive
[code]@echo off
FOR %%a in (".") do call :next "%%a"
goto :eof
:next
for /f "delims=-" %%b in ("%~n1") do set "folder=%%b"

:loop
set /a c=c+1
set num= (c%c%)
if %c% EQU 0 (set num=)
if exist "%folder%%name%%num%%~x1" goto :loop

MOVE /-Y "%~1" "%folder%%name%%num%%~x1" >nul
goto :EOF
:: Search and Replace - strings

What it Does:
[ul][li]Makes folder from part of filename :: in this case everything before the first dash.[/li]
[li]Files are then move into folder. [/li]
[li]If folder already exists the files are merged into existing folder. [/li]
[li]If file already exists with the same name, the files are renamed with tag to avoid conflict. (c1), (c2)[/li]
[li]NO files are overwritten.[/li][/ul] Constraints:
[ul]
Author - [Series 01] - Title (tag).ext
Singer - [Album] - 01 Song Title.ext
DELIMINATORS: dash, square bracket and parenthesis. These are designated and not used elsewhere. (so no hyphened words in the author or singer names)
[/ul] Example:
BEFORE:
Jane Austen - Emma.epub
Jane Austen - Pride And Prejudice.epub
Jane Austen - Pride And Prejudice.jpg
AFTER:
Jane Austen/
[ul]Jane Austen - Emma.epub
Jane Austen - Pride And Prejudice.epub
Jane Austen - Pride And Prejudice.jpg
Jane Austen - Pride And Prejudice (c1).epub
Jane Austen - Pride And Prejudice (c2).epub
[/ul]
ISSUE: Help! I can't get it work as a button. Guessing a I need to alter the code to fit in DirOpus environment ?
My scripting ability is not that extensive. My reference books are always at my elbows. DOS is not my natural habitat. My original script was written in "bash".
My DOS script works fine from the command prompt but when I make into a button it fails. So it is user error in my button making. (new to DirOpus)
The reason I didn't use the built rename was.. because there's a quirk Directory Opus when renaming inline. If a file already has a numerical data in parentheses the DirOpus will increment it thinking it's its own inline numbering sequence. If there is character with it, inline-renaming will split on the last parenthesis.
What should happen:
filename (2011).txt
filename (2011)(1).txt
filename (v1.0).txt
filename (v1.0)(1).txt
A Better Mouse Trap:
If there is a way to do the all functions I want with the built-in Opus command, I'm all for it . I am not that attached to my scripts. The INLINE numbering problem needs a work-around though. Haven't a clue on how to do that.
MY ORIGINAL LINUX BASH VERSION
#!/bin/bash
for i in $(ls | sed 's/ /~/g'); do
FILENAME=$(echo "$i" | sed 's/~/ /g')
if ! [ -d "$FILENAME" ]; then
AUTHORNAME=$(echo "$FILENAME" | awk -F"-" '{ print $1 }')
AUTHORNAME=$( echo "$AUTHORNAME" | sed -r 's/ +$//g' )
if ! [ -d "$AUTHORNAME" ]; then
mkdir "$AUTHORNAME"
fi
COUNT=1
EXTENSION=$(echo "$FILENAME" | awk -F. '{ print $NF }')
NEWNAME=$(echo "$FILENAME" | sed -r "s/\.$EXTENSION$//g")
TEMPNAME=$NEWNAME
while [ -e "$AUTHORNAME/$NEWNAME.$EXTENSION" ]; do
NEWNAME="$TEMPNAME(C$COUNT)"
COUNT=$((COUNT+1))
done
mv "$FILENAME" "$AUTHORNAME/$NEWNAME.$EXTENSION"
fi
done
Caveates:
Linux Bash scripts works best because takes into consideration possible extra spaces, while DOS is fussy about it. DOS will not move a file if there are 2 spaces before the dash.
DOS script still has an issue with hidden files beginning with a tilde ~. Recently discovered this when the script found a stray ~temp.doc file.
Try replacing the @echo off line (it's not needed) with @externalonly (so that the "set" command isn't interpreted as the Opus set command instead of the DOS one).
Failing that, it might make sense to keep the batch in a .bat file and call that from the button, instead of putting it inside the button. (Opus will split MS-DOS Batch Function buttons into multiple smaller batch files if there are any Opus commands in between the external/DOS commands, so you have to be careful if you want to use batch loops and gotos in the command itself. Easier to avoid them.)
(Or, even better, use a rename script, but that would mean re-writing things, of course.)
in my button making.
The INLINE numbering problem needs a work-around though. Haven't a clue on how to do that.
