i have a folder that contains file like this
AYANE_COS_001.bmp
christie_COS_001.bmp
helena_COS_001.bmp
i want to write a script do this with the selected files :
get the string right before "_" character (without quotes) in filename and set it to the target folder i want to move files to (and suffix rename if there is duplicate file name)
for example

"AYANE_COS_001.bmp" will be move to "E:\copydir\AYANE\"
"christie_COS_001.bmp" will be move to "E:\copydir\christie\"
"helena_COS_001.bmp" will be move to "E:\copydir\helena\"

(that means "string_blablabla.bmp" will be move to "E:\copydir\string" )
(and suffix rename if there is duplicate file name)

i can get the target foldername by regexreplace "selecteditemsnames"
$targetfolder = regexreplace($selecteditemsnames,"_.*","")

but i have no idea how to do next ,i have no succeed with "foreach" yet

i can do this with autohotkey ,but if i move files with autohotkey ,the comments and tags of files will be lost
Any help would be really appreciated
thanks alot

moveto doesn't support a on collision setting (to e.g. prefix something for an existing dst file).

So you either have to use backupto or use a while loop inside the foreach loop to check if the destination file already exists and add the appropriate suffix to it...

Code: Select all

    $dstDir = "E:\copydir";

    $selectedFiles = get("SelectedItemsPathNames", "|");
    foreach($file, $selectedFiles) {
        $affix = regexmatches(getpathcomponent($file, "file"), "^.*?(?=_)");
        if !(exists("$dstDir\$affix")) { new("$dstDir\$affix", "dir"); }
        backupto "$dstDir\$affix", $file, 4, , 0, 0, , , 0;
    }
    delete 1, 0, $selectedFiles;

Thank you very much ,you are so quick
the script works fine when i tried with about <7 files at once (each files are 1MBytes)
but when i tried with about 50 files, there are files not copied , so i try viewing "background jobs" and see only 30 files copied (size of them about 30mb) and about 20 files not copied yet (about 20mb ) ,theirs status is "loading" , i wait for a while but their status not changed
then i tried deleting this line in your code and tried several times but this problem still happened

Code: Select all

  delete 1, 0, $selectedFiles;

i guess it's because xy or the computer can't handle many files copied at once or something,so i will do backup about <7 files at once
it 's fine with me

thank you for your helps , i really appreciate it

use

setting "BackgroundFileOps", 0;

before the foreach loop
