Answering the question would have been better...

Code: Select all

renameitem(gpc(<curpath>, "file") . <clipboard>, <curpath>);
No $parent...^^

You ^^. Now I can :biggrin:
I just need to mention, I started off to use ahk after 3 days @jupe mentioned about that. And today 254 lines of code.

But I didn't wrote down single line code in XY by myself. That is terrible, huge consuming of time but even no single line of code.
Unfortunately, I absolutely don't understand XY scripting until today.

Thanks a lot, ^^

XY is (like AHK) a scripting language. Don't see any difference there.

It just makes no sense to try to rename the parent of the current path when you actually want to rename the current path.

Programming is about logic. The rest is help file reading and statement construction. AHK is in no way easier than XY (and
I know what I'm talking about, I'm using AHK for years as well)...

This is time I spent for my currently issue, and I spent my time in the help.pdf and tried study your script (before you helped me) because it is similar issue.

(mini - is meaning tree)

I hope I will write down next script by myself. (I will celebrate it, IF I will do it)
Thanks a lot, sir. Highly appreciate that.

#4 Creating Incremental Folders

Image

My goal to Create 10 Folders.
Selected Folder name: `Prefix-120-`
Need to Created Folders will look like this:

  • 01. Prefix-121-
    02. Prefix-122-
    03. Prefix-123-
    ...
    10. Prefix-130-
All code source from @highend
I just give it a try to achieve my goal.

Code: Select all

    $dstPath = <curpath>;
    $subFolders = "Folder-121-|Folder-122-"; ' No idea for incremental folder names

    $folderName = gpc(<curitem>, "component", -2, 1);
    if ($folderName)
    {
        foreach($subFolder, $subFolders, , "e")
        {
            new("$dstPath\$folderName\$subFolder", "dir");
        }
    }
I am just laughing my scripting knowledge. :titter:
But still trying...

Mh?

Give a real world example, so that I can see what the real prefix is and if there comes anything after
Prefix-<number>-

Something like below. And only words no `Symbols, `Numbers in this case.
Prefix is:
  • Sport
    Medical
    Health
    Do Fitness
(I used simple `Prefix because no complex `Named at first part of names)

What does such a folder name now has to do with what you requested before?

Can you be a bit more damn specific? oO

Sorry. I don't understand your 1st question.

Currently real Folder Name is in my Drive: Medical-012-
So my goal to write a script to create 10 folders.
Medical-013-
Medical-014-
Medical-015-
Medical-016-
Medical-017-
Medical-018-
Medical-019-
Medical-020-
Medical-021-
Medical-022-

Code: Select all

    $howMany = 10;

    $base     = gpc(<curitem>, "file");
    $startNum = trim(regexmatches($base, "-\d+?-"), "-");

    while ($i++ < $howMany) {
        $inc = "-" . ($startNum + $i) . "-";
        $newName = regexreplace($base, "-\d+?-", $inc);
        new($newName, "dir");
    }

Thanks a lot man.

Just needed to do by myself, but I only found this `<#001> don't know how to combine it with this script to achieve my goal.
So problem is missing `0/zero as you see in the screenshot.
Is there a chance to do it like this? `013, 014, ..., 022

Look up the format() command to get such a padding

Re: Miscellaneous - Questions

Wow, it worked. Thanks.

Code: Select all

        $inc = "-0" . ($startNum + $i) . "-";
Is this method right?

No, it isn't. I said "look up the format() command"...
