I have a list of methods that currently does the following rename sequential numbering process:
IMG_4207.jpg --> 20150420-CarRace-001.jpg IMG_4208.mp4 --> 20150420-CarRace-002.mp4 IMG_4209.jpg --> 20150420-CarRace-003.jpg IMG_4210.mov --> 20150420-CarRace-004.mov IMG_4211.jpg --> 20150420-CarRace-005.jpg IMG_4212.avi --> 20150420-CarRace-006.avi However, for any video file extensions (.AVI, .MOV, .MP4), I want to insert the letter "v" in front of the first occurrence of "-" IMG_4207.jpg --> 20150420-CarRace-001.jpg IMG_4208.mp4 --> 20150420v-CarRace-002.mp4 IMG_4209.jpg --> 20150420-CarRace-003.jpg IMG_4210.mov --> 20150420v-CarRace-004.mov IMG_4211.jpg --> 20150420-CarRace-005.jpg IMG_4212.avi --> 20150420v-CarRace-006.avi I know how to use the "Replace" method to replace the first "-" with "v-", but how can I only conditionally apply this method to files with one of several extensions? Thanks, Sailor Guy |

I solved my own question. I wrote a Script method:
var sNewName = item.newName; // new filename.ext // strip off the auto-added file extension sNewName = sNewName.substr(0,sNewName.lastIndexOf(".")); // if file extension is a video file, add a "v" after the // datestamp (i.e. "20150504v-" instead of "20150504-") // which is indicated by the first "-" dash in the filename var sVideoExtList = ".avi .mov .mp4 .mpg"; if (sVideoExtList.search(item.ext.toLowerCase()) > -1) { sNewName = sNewName.replace("-", "v-"); } return sNewName; |
