file renaming with script method regex calculation within filename string

File renaming with script method regex calculation within filename string

i m looking for guidance on problem renaming files

i have got hundreds of filenames look like

aa-95865-00-bb.ext
aa-45732-00-bb.ext
aa-85855-00-bb.ext
aa-75263-00-bb.ext
aa-35165-00-bb.ext

i want to rename by replacing "00" with sum of five digits starting at index 4

eg "00" in the first filename to be replaced by 9+5+8+6+5 = 33, to be renamed as, aa-95865-33-bb.ext
"00" in the second filename to be replaced by 4+5+7+3+2 = 21, to be renamed as, aa-45732-21-bb.ext
and so on ..

please guide .. thanks ..

Try this:

match = item.name.match(/(.*-)(\d{5}-)00(.*)/);
sum = 0;
for (j = 0; j < 5; ++j) {
sum += parseInt(match[2].charAt(j));
}
return match[1] + match[2] + sum + match[3];

var regex = item.name.match(/^(.*?)(\d{5}).*?(-.{2}$)/)
var arr = (regex[2]).split('')
var sum = arr.reduce(function(acc,cur){return acc*1+cur*1})
return regex[1] + regex[2] +'-'+ sum + regex[3]

My script works for me - check that you have entered it correctly.

Neat trick! I wasn't aware of the Reduce method and Split on a null. Reduce is a bit more tricky to understand though and it took me a while to sort out the syntax.

if ARen can support ES6, script will be more easy, just like this:

var regex = item.name.match(/^(.*?)(\d{5}).*?(-.{2}$)/)
var sum = Array.from(regex[2]).reduce((acc,cur)=>acc*1+cur*1)
return regex[1] + regex[2] +'-'+ sum + regex[3]

It doesn't!

Neither "Array.from()" nor "=>" are supported by Aren

Thank you very much David Lee sir,

yes,
i retried it several times, and succeed
actually, there were some files containing extra characters resulted in script error
i also had to modify your code slightly to make it work for me,
now it has worked,

there is another complex renaming situation, i am trying to sort it myself
will sincerely need your help if i fail

thanks again..
