Can anyone help me with this much needed code please?
I currently use:
@nofilenamequoting
@set dir={dlgstringS|Enter name of folder to move selection into|{file|noterm|noext}}
Copy MOVE TO="{sourcepath$}" CREATEFOLDER="{$dir}"
This pops up a dialog with the first selected file name inserted. I delete the last 4 characters and click OK. This creates the folder and moves all selected files into it.
What I would like is for no dialog to open and for it to just remove the last 4 characters on it's own, then move the files as before. It would be nice if it ignored case sensitivity for moving all files and would work when a bunch of mixed names are selected.
All the files with the same base name (full name minus the Extension and last 4 digits) would be moved into their respective folders.
I was able to create a Regex that selects the last 4 digits (-[0-2]\d{2}) but now I'm lost. I can't figure out how to mark all the rest of the name as group1 nor would I be able to figure out how to make it all work in a button. Or if this method is even the correct direction to go.
I'm not expert, just try to help you with regular expression /^([^.]+)(-[0-2]\d{2})/
Here you can see the 1st group match as your expectation.
or If you want to capture the file extension in a group then you can try this one
.... is four random characters at the end of the string. .* is zero or more characters. This part just takes what's left to make the whole expression fit.
Ok, I get it now. It's like .... is being read first and blocking it from being read again. Then .* is starting from the beginning (since it's entered in first) and filling in the rest until stopped by whats already been read. At least thats how I visualize it in my head
