Request for a Regex

[aurumdigitus]

Would someone be kind enough to furnish a Regex to be used in a script that will do the following:

For the selected file(s) remove all vowels from the Name but leave the Extension untouched.

Thank you yet again ...

Code: Select all

$nameExt = "astuhosetuhahcsotetoasuh.abc";
   $base = getpathcomponent($nameExt, "base");
   $ext = getpathcomponent($nameExt, "ext");
   echo RegExReplace($base, "[aeiou]", "").".".$ext;

And check out the Stack Overflow Regular Expressions FAQ, which I maintain. In particular, the bottom section has great online and offline tools for analyzing and creating regexes.

That's a two step process.

Code: Select all

    $list = "";
    foreach($file, "<get SelectedItemsPathNames |>") {
        $base = regexreplace(getpathcomponent($file, "base"), "[aeiou]");
        $ext  = getpathcomponent($file, "ext");
        $file = "$base.$ext";
        $list = $list . $file . "<crlf>";
    }

    text $list;

Right. I only supplied the regex, not the "do this for all selected files" part.

Copious thank you's everyone. The code is exactly what was needed and it came so quickly!

Scoping out the reference to stackoverflow it looks very promising. The time may have finally come to "get my feet wet" in the pool of Regex.

Saves me a question. Cool, that the maintainer actually is really you.

That's me

A little addendum: you may want to perform a recase("string", "removediacritics") first, otherwise vowels like à or é won't be removed.
