Hi everyone, everything fine?
Continuing with the script that removes characters, I'm trying to add a function that displays a "before and after" comparison at the end of the task, but I can't fix a nasty error. The before doesn't work.
I count on your help. Thanks.
Current script:
var folder = Folder.selectDialog("Selecione a pasta de destino")
var files = folder.getFiles();
var file, extension;
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++){
file = files[i];
fName = decodeURI(file.name)
extension = file.name.slice(file.name.length-4, file.name.length);
file.rename("Pg#"+ fName.replace(/[^\d]+/g,"")+extension);
var out = new File(Folder.desktop + "/fileNames.txt");
out.open("w");
out.encoding="UTF8";
for(var a in files){out.writeln( fName + " = "+decodeURI(files[a].name));}
out.close();
var ftxt = File (Folder.desktop + "/fileNames.txt" );
ftxt.open("r"); var stringFromTextFile = ftxt.read();
var Result = stringFromTextFile.split();
}
alert (Result, "Result" )

Why not there (as continuation): Removing characters from filenames
if ((fldr = Folder.selectDialog()) &&
(lngth = (fls = fldr.getFiles()).length)) {
(out = File(Folder.desktop + '/nms.txt')).open('w')
while(fls.length) nme = decodeURI((fle = fls.shift()).name),
fle.rename('Pg#' + nme.replace(/[^\d]+/g, '') + fle.name
.slice(-4)), out.writeln(nme + ' = ' + decodeURI(fle.name))
with(out) close(), open('r'), r = read(), close(), alert(r)
}

@Kukurykusthanks for your instant reply.
I've been looking for this script for years.
a script that batch renames the name of any file, but without changing the numerical order of the files and the name of the subfolders if they exist:
ex:
Change to: prefix + 3 digits before dot( prefix+000.jpg)
"ALBUM_000_000_001 .jpg" = myPrefix_001.extension
"XXXXXX_000_000_002.jpg" = myPrefix_002.extension
" xxxxx(1).jpg" = myPrefix_001.extensionCould you write a script like this? Please share. Thanks.
The before and after function also extends the script

@Kukurykus this would be a more complete version of the script you wrote.
Great, wonderful script! @Kukurykus thank you for fulfilling my request.
It's almost 100% perfect,
1: It adds the extension twice
2: Still renames the subfolder.
How do we fix these two mistakes? Thanks
if ((fldr = Folder.selectDialog()) &&
(lngth = (fls = fldr.getFiles()).length)) {
(out = File(Folder.desktop + '/nms.txt')).open('w')
while(fls.length) nme = decodeURI((fle = fls.shift()).name),
fle.rename(nme.replace(/.*(\(\d+\)|\d+)(?=\.)/,function(v){return 'myPrefix_' + ('00' + v.split(/\D/).join('')).slice(-3)}) + fle.name
.slice(-4)), out.writeln(nme + ' = ' + decodeURI(fle.name))
with(out) close(), open('r'), r = read(), close(), alert(r)
}
I tested all types of name and the result is the same
@Kukurykus throws an error on line 4
Your last code seems to be incomplete, you eliminated the function that shows the alert with the names of the files "before and after", this function is fundamental.
if ((fldr = Folder.selectDialog()) &&
(lngth = (fls = fldr.getFiles()).length)) {
(out = File(Folder.desktop + '/nms.txt')).open('w')
while(fls.length) nme = decodeURI((fle = fls.shift()).name),
fle.rename(nme.replace(/.*(\(\d+\)|\d+)(?=\.)/,function(v){return 'myPrefix_' + ('00' + v.split(/\D/).join('')).slice(-3)}) + fle.name
.slice(-4)), out.writeln(nme + ' = ' + decodeURI(fle.name))
with(out) close(), open('r'), r = read(), close(), alert(r)
}
This script works almost perfectly, if you can only fix the part that duplicates the extension and not rename the subfolder. Only that.
@Kukurykus I tried all morning to add the alert function in the current script. however without success. Where was I wrong? Could you show me how to fix it or send me the complete code with the appropriate corrections? Thanks
if ((fldr = Folder.selectDialog()) &&
(lngth = (fls = fldr.getFiles()).length)) {
(out = File(Folder.desktop + '/nms.txt')).open('w')
re = /.*(\(\d+\)|\d+)(?=\.)/; while(fls.length) nme = decodeURI((fle = fls.shift()).name),
(fle = fls.shift()),nme.rename(decodeURI(fle.name)
.replace(re, function(v) {return 'myPrefix_'
+ ('00' + v.split(/\D/).join('')).slice(-3)}))
out.writeln(nme + ' = ' + decodeURI(fle.name))
with(out) close(), open('r'), r = read(), close(), alert(r)
}
