Hello,
I am looking for a script that can randomize a string of words to add to the file name. In a previous forum thread I found this script: var colors = ["Red", "Green", "Blue", "Cyan", "Yellow", "Purple"]; return colors[Math.floor((Math.random() * colors.length))]; This works great, except it only outputs one of the colors. This script can output the entire randomized string in a Javascript console, but I dont know how to adapt it to Advanced Renamer: const shuffle = array => array.sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5).toString() const colors = ["Red", "Green", "Blue", "Cyan", "Yellow", "Purple"]; console.log(shuffle( colors )) How can the scripts be adapted to work? |

Advanced Renamer does not support JavaScript ES6 extensions so you will have to use the original verbose function syntax:
function shuffle (array) { return array.sort(function(){return 0.5 - Math.random()}); } colors = ["Red", "Green", "Blue", "Cyan", "Yellow", "Purple"]; app.log(shuffle( colors )); app.log writes output to the "JS Console" (main menu item). Note that this will only work if you have at least one item in the List. |
