Please help I need a Script !

[Ysl]

Hi

I know almost anything in programming so I hope I will find some help !

I would like copy the name of an .mp3 file, delete it, and create a .txt file with the name of the mp3 file.

So pushing a key will transform "michael jackson - billie jean.mp3" to "michael jackson - billie jean.txt" (with a file size of 0 K)

Thanks for your help !

Give this a try:

Code: Select all

End(GetInfo("CountSelected") < 1, "No item(s) selected.");
	Global($files);
	$files = Report("{Dir |{FullName};{Ext}<crlf>|}", 1);
	Setting("AllowRecursion", 1);
	Sub("_newTXT");
	RegexReplace($files, $files, "^(.*);.*<crlf>", "$1|");
	Delete(1,1,$files);


"_newTXT"
	Global($files, $i);
	$i = $i Like "" ? 1 : $i;
	$token = GetToken($files, $i, "<crlf>");
	End($token Like "",, 1);
	$file = GetToken($token, 1, ";");
	$ext = GetToken($token, 2, ";");
	RegexReplace($newFile, $file, "$ext$", "txt");
	New($newFile);
	$i = $i + 1;
	Sub("_newTXT");

THANKS ! so good so fast !

Yes, TheQwerty is one of great scripters and very helpful as well!

I have this error message :

See our wiki for this one: http://88.191.26.34/XYwiki/index.php/IN ... hecker_Off
As it notes, one can do same via Setting.

[Ysl]

Perfect !

Thanks guys for your help and thanks XYplorer for scripting !

It works almost perfectly !

I have this error message :

Doh.. Yep, I indeed forgot to disable the recursion checker in the script. Luckily, j_c_hallgren's always quick with finding the relevant parts of the wiki or forum posts.

In any case, I've updated the script above to temporarily disable the recursion checker.

Glad that works for you!

One last thing, I don"t know if it is possible but it would save time

Can we pass the delete confirmation panel and delete without asking ?

Thanks

Take a look here: http://88.191.26.34/XYwiki/index.php/Sc ... nd:_delete
Then you can change the Delete command to work however you'd like.
You'll probably want "Delete(1,0,$files);"

It's even better now !

Merci encore !

May I ask one more refinement ?

I would like to select all the files in a folder (.jpg, mp3, txt) and when I run the script, I would like for only the mp3 to be renamed/deleted.

There should be a "if -then" command somewhere which can do that I hope...

Thanks

I would like to select all the files in a folder (.jpg, mp3, txt) and when I run the script, I would like for only the mp3 to be renamed/deleted.

It would probably be smarter to use a selection or visual filter, but I've updated the above code and it should ignore anything that doesn't have the extension mp3.

There should be a "if -then" command somewhere which can do that I hope...

Unfortunately, XY scripting does not yet have real if-else constructs, so it's not that easy. As I wanted to keep the Delete as a single bulk call it won't be that easy even when he gives them to us.

[Ysl]

Well, Thanks again for your help but unfortunately, the script work as before, the "folder.jpg" was renamed "folder.txt" and deleted...

Ysl

[TheQwerty]

Yeah.. that's not going to work.

Can't you just use a Selection or Visual filter so you're only dealing with MP3s in the first place?

[Ysl]

I don't really understand those options but will look in the manual !

Hi

It seem that since 8.50 or 8.60, this script doesn't work anymore !

When running it, all that happen is a new file in the same folder

Name of the new file (which should be the same as the selected one but with the .txt extension) : $newFile

Thanks for your help !
