Hi,
It would be immensely useful to be able to see how the replace or add or remove etc. command is expressed in a command line command + regular expression. I use advanced renamer for very simple tasks like inserting text at index 0 of a file name when I would rather to use the command line. But its an excessive level of googling to find out how, when advanced renamer could just tell me. Is there a way to show this? Thanks, Blabbo |

Do you really mean "Command Line" or Advanced Renamer's "Script Method".
The script method assumes a knowledge of JavaScript and Regular Expressions. Whilst confusing at first it isn't a terribly steep learning curve if you employ some intelligent Googling. I have found hits at www.w3schools.com particularly helpful. If you browse previous threads on this forum you will find a lot of examples of scripting and the use of regular expressions. |

Hi, Thanks, i'll check it out. Ideally, I would like to know the equivalent command to be put into the command line to achieve the same result by writing into the command line. But from your response I gather that advanced renamer doesn't work by writing scripts into the command line in the background, instead it is a standalone javascript program. If this is the case, I wonder if there is way just to show the equivalent regular expression of the text I am asking. For example; how to say ' index 0 of filename' It would be a really fast way to learn regular expressions. Thanks, Seb |

Advanced Renamer's "Command line automation" facility allows you to run previously saved method lists from a batch file - so you still have to set up the renaming algorithms in the main program. It's not obvious what you mean by "index 0 of filename" - can you try to be a bit more explicit? |
