Can regex keep this values in the basename only and also keep the extension?
[^\u0600-\u06FF|0-9|-|_|\s] >

I have another script that seems to work but I'm asking how I can keep the extension while changing what I want in the base name?
Code: Select all
$a = get(SelectedItemsNames, "<crlf>");
$a = regexmatches("$a", "-|_|\s|[\u0600-\u06FF|0-9]|(\.[^.]+$)", "");
$a = RegExReplace("$a", "( ) +(?![ .])| +(?=\.)", "$1");
rename "l", "$a", p, , 64;
in PowerShell
Get-ChildItem | Rename-Item -NewName {($_.BaseName -replace '([^\u0600-\u06FF|0-9|\s|-|_])','') + $_.Extension}

01. Paste the real names (as TEXT) of the three files here
02. Paste the expected result (again as TEXT, after the renaming operation) here as well^^

thanks for your reply
my goal is keep [Arabic characters, numbers, space, -_] and remove anything else
[\u0600-\u06FF|0-9|-|_|\s]
before:
Code: Select all

And your powershell snippet leads to the correct results?
Not here...

if it is hard to achieve this by RegExp Rename, would you please look into my script 'in first post' and tell me if it is a correct approach to keep arabic, numbers and space

In Win 10 it produces only garbage here...
And no, your approach is not correct. Even your targeting (regexmatches) is wrong.
My recommendation, don't try that with a single regex, combine it with a loop
or just execute your powershell from a xy script...
Code: Select all
$selected = <get "SelectedItemsNames">;
$newSel = "";
$newNames = "";
foreach($item, $selected, <crlf>, "e") {
$base = gpc($item, "base");
$ext = gpc($item, "ext");
if (regexmatches($base, ".*([\u0600-\u06FF]|[ 0-9_-]).*")) {
$newSel .= $item . <crlf>;
$newName = trim(regexreplace($base, "([^\u0600-\u06FF 0-9_-])")) . ".$ext";
$newNames .= $newName . <crlf>;
}
}
if ($newSel) {
selectitems $newSel, , 1;
rename "l", $newNames, "p", , 64;
}

very helpful script thank you
I've modified it a bit to avoid change current selection and prevent adding a dot to folders if folders involved in the renaming process
Code: Select all
$keep = "^\s\u0600-\u06FF0-9-_\[\]\(\)";
$keep = input("choose what to keep", ,"$keep");
$selected = <get "SelectedItemsNames">;
$newNames = "";
foreach($item, $selected, <crlf>, "e") {
$base = gpc($item, "base");
$ext = gpc($item, "ext");
$name = gpc($item, "name");
if (regexmatches($base, ".*([\u0600-\u06FF]).*")) {
if ($ext) { $ext = ".$ext"; }
$newName = trim(regexreplace($base, "([$keep])"));
$newName = RegExReplace("$newName", "\s{2,}", " ") . "$ext";
}
if not (regexmatches($base, ".*([\u0600-\u06FF]).*")) { $newName = "$name"; }
$newNames .= $newName . <crlf>;
}
rename "l", $newNames, "p", , 64;
