Batch rename and datestamp

[jjk]

Hello all
I have some files :
Science et Vie june 2019.pdf
Science et Vie july 2019.pdf
Science et Vie september 2019.pdf
...

I would to rename them, in one shot, as :
S&V 201906.pdf
S&V 201907.pdf
S&V 201909.pdf
...

More, if possible, datestamp them (last modified date) as :
01/06/2019 00:00
01/07/2019 00:00
01/09/2019 00:00
...

Is it possible by one shot (or one shot for renaming, and one shot more for datestamping), if needed, by script ?
And, finally, can I save the whole procedure to be able to reapply it to some other files groups ?

Thanks in advance to all who can help me.

1. Sure, scripting is the way to go here
Reapplying it to other group of files? Depends on if the pattern is the same (<description> <english month> <yyyy year>)

2. You mean timestamp them while the english month + yyyy year are the source for the date used?
And the first of the month + 00:00:00 are the defaults?
If 2 * true: Sure, this can be scripted as well

Both scripts need a regex pattern (or the clumsy way: gettoken while the month is the separator -> 12 checks in the loop)...
And of course it's possible to bake both functions into the same script^^

Thanks highend
But unfortunately I am unble to write a such script.

For your Point 2, yes, you have understood my request.

Anyway, is there anyone to write at least some explanations for begin that script ?

1. Get selected files
2. Put all english month names (separated by |) in a $months variable
3. Loop over all selected files
4. Capture all parts via this regex and use gettoken to break them up into the description, the month, year and extension
$parts = regexreplace($file, "^(.+?)\s+($months)\s+(\d{4})(\.[^.]+)$", "$1|$2|$3|$4");
5. Rebuild the new name from these parts (to get the month as digits, use gettokenindex() on the $months variable)
6. Rebuild the new date
7. timestamp + rename

Thank you highend.
I tried to write the script, but unfortunately I am unable to make it to work.
And also I don't understand some parts of that you have written, and above all to translate them to working code.
I'm just able to adapt a working code (ie adjusting to my exact needs)

Anyway, thanks highend

And you've written... what? Post it...

I don't understand some parts of that you have written

Which parts?
