That's because it runs through
all months for each file and therefore it would only rename files that use december as it's month...
Code: Select all
setting "BackgroundFileOps", 0;
$l_months = "Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec";
foreach ($filename, "<get SelectedItemsNames |>") {
$i=1;
$newName = "";
foreach ($month, $l_months) {
if (regexmatches($filename, "\b$month[a-z]+\b")) {
$newName = regexreplace(regexreplace($filename, "\b".$month."[a-z]+\b (\d\d*), (\d{4})", "$2.".$i.".$1"), "\b(\d)\b", "0$1");
break;
}
$i++;
}
if ($newName) { renameitem($newName, $filename); }
}

Finally, your script works brilliantly. Thanks a million.

Well, no real problem with the months per se, it’s because in your code, the
$NewName variable that you added was set the first time:
Code: Select all
$NewName = regexreplace(regexreplace($filename,…
but then wasn’t reset before each next file.
So by using only
$NewName in the regex you can just reset it with
$NewName = $filename;.
Code: Select all
"Date converter"
$l_months = "Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec";
foreach ($filename, <get SelectedItemsNames |>) { $i=1;
$NewName = $filename;
foreach ($month, $l_months) {
$NewName = regexreplace(regexreplace($NewName, "\b".$month."[a-z]+\b (\d\d*), (\d{4})", "$2.".$i++.".$1"), "\b(\d)\b", "0$1");
}
renameitem($NewName, $filename);
}
Edit: Hehe, a bit late to post. Thanks
highend for the “maintenance”.

Thanks you for your fast help.
Thanks you for speeding up my XY script learning.
