Find duplicates - similarity percent [solved]

[eil]

is there a way to specify non-100% match when searching dupes? like i have mp3s in different folders, and i know for sure there are similar files, but they may be of different quality(no Content search possible), and main problem - the may have different start of name( 01.Song & 05.Song doesn't go as Duplicate for pity).
so is there some way to specify "80% match" or to set match by "similar word(s)" in name?

Nope

hmm.. how about way to make name sorting(custom sorting?) with ignoring smt?(like first 3,4 symbols of item name, or last, or some specific group of symbols)

That's where custom columns (with a script) come into play...

[eil]

can you propose any variant of script for such column that may do sort with such pattern:
[skip this/wildcard]sorting part of name[skip this/wildcard]

[highend]

If you provide enough real world examples + what to filter out...

[eil]

for pity i can't really provide direct examples as right now i have case with non-english files. still, example is like this =
there are files:
Album #1\01.World.mp3
Album #3\05.World.mp3
Collection\Album Best\12.World.mp3
(i find their presence with Branch View)

i need to have sorting-script, skipping these first X symbols(01. etc) of file name.
X 'cause quite often i need to skip more than 3, so script should be adjustable;
symbols 'cause those at the beginning of file name, may be not numbers(like artist name).

Works with non english names as well!

Code: Select all

    $numWordsToStrip = 0;

    $item = <cc_item>;
    // Strip numbers, spaces and dots from the beginning of the file name
    $stripped = regexreplace(gpc($item, "base"), "^[0-9. ]+");
    // Strip <x> number of words + a combination of spaces and dashes
    $stripped = regexreplace($stripped, "^(([^ ])+([ -]+)?){$numWordsToStrip}");
    return $stripped;

With $numWordsToStrip = 0;

With $numWordsToStrip = 1;
