Rename using Template

zarkikunet · June 10, 2022, 2:50pm

Concerning the Rename topic I know there are tons of presets available, still I am missing a fairly simple one where you can start a numbering sequence using a template with right filename and starting number, something like

By the way ACDSee and Everything are providing it and I am fairly convinced that DO can do it as well. I just don't see how and I'll appreciate if somebody can oriented me in the right direction without suggesting a too complicate RegEx or a cryptic script that I am not conformable with.

The Sequential Numbering checkbox in the rename dialog lets you do that.

Take a deep breath and try

// 2022-06-10

function OnClick(clickData) {
    var cmd = clickData.func.command;
    var tab = clickData.func.sourcetab;
    cmd.deselect = false;

    if (tab.selected.count == 0) return;

    var item = tab.selected(0);

    var part1 = item.name_stem.replace(/(.*_)(\d+)/, '$1');
    var part2 = item.name_stem.replace(/(.*_)(\d+)/, '$2');

	var cmdLine = ('Rename ADVANCED PATTERN="*" TO="' + part1 + '[#]" NUMBER=' + part2);
    // DOpus.Output(cmdLine);
    cmd.RunCommand(cmdLine);
}

AWESOME (almost)! It does work in most cases, except when the number in the template is precede by a space:

OK

I can live with that , but unfortunately the not working case is the one I use the most.
Remediable?

Thanks by all way

Sorry, this is the not working case:

Sure

Just remove the underscores like this:

    var part1 = item.name_stem.replace(/(.*)(\d+)/, '$1');
    var part2 = item.name_stem.replace(/(.*)(\d+)/, '$2');

So obvious. Still, you remain all remarkable. Many, many thanks
