Good morning everyone,
I have some files e.g. : rl102c36.jpg and I would like to create and move each file to a nomenclar folder with the first 5 characters. In detail the file rl102c36.jpg will be placed in the folder RL102 in uppercase. Can you help me? Thank you very much for your cooperation. Marco |

Hi Marco, welcome, If you want to keep the lowercase letters in the filename, I couldn't think of a straightforward way to do what you want natively. If you don't mind uppercase letters in the filename you can just use a New case method to uppercase the filename, and set the Batch mode to move with the Output folder field set to "<substr:1,5>" (no quotes). If you want to keep the filename as original case, you can use this little script: // ------------------------------------------------- const newname = item.name ; const pathpart = item.name.substr(0,5) ; const newpath = pathpart.toUpperCase() ; item.newPath = item.path + newpath + "\\" ; // ------------------------------------------------- Just put that in a Script method, save it in an .aren file, and it will do what you want (at least it did on my little test). :) Caveat: if there's a space in the fifth character position of a filename it will throw an error.

Well, that was... interesting. Here's a script that will remove a space in the last position of the new path: // ------------------------------------------------- const newname = item.name ; const pathpart = item.name.substr(0,5) ; const newpath = pathpart.toUpperCase() ; if ( / $/.test(newpath) ) { item.newPath = item.path + newpath.substr(0,4) + "\\" ; } else { item.newPath = item.path + newpath + "\\" ; } // ------------------------------------------------- A little safer, but if you have filenames shorter than 5 characters it will still probably error out. I can only think about this stuff for so long! :) Best, DF |
