Rename Special:
#146: Capitalize each word in the name(s). Set all non-first letters to lower case. Leave the extension untouched.
Tried something like ::#146 "<clipboard>"; but no go. Help, please...?

#146; is for renaming file names.. it does not operate on strings.

Your current best bet is probably to use replacelist:

Code: Select all

$convertedString = ReplaceList("<clipboard>","abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz","ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",,1);

Of course this particular code does not cover accented or extended characters, consider that an exercise to lessen your dependence on the forum scriptwriters.

Edited to make note that ReplaceList is a function and will return the converted string.

TheQwerty:

...consider that an exercise to lessen your dependence on the forum scriptwriters.

Believe me: sometimes I search, try-and error, copy-and-paste and... nothing. Greek to me, unfortunately.
Attempts on those stuff still results in nothing:

-WinRAR Unpack Level Checker: previous comments relating to the request can be found here and also I believe this code can be used as it's good for the moving part of process. But I simply can't put those stuff together.

-Catalog Maker, which is partially done here despite my (copy and paste) solution being very limited due to having to a) manually check each and every subfolder and b) having to delete some stuff manually (which I did for "all files" but not for "selected files" as for option here. I *can't* script.

-Name Replacer sounds quite simple. My attempts were disastrous, though.

-Remissive Index Builder sounds a nightmare...

Regarding your solution: thanks, this will help a lot with english-based names, but it's quite hard to build a dictionary for all possible combinations in my native language. I did something like this earlier this year, but soon I realized that the job would require an extra patience I was not able to provide for such task (all I do with *my files* do not involve diacritics at all. Problem comes with someone else's/online stuff...).

This might work beyond the standard A through Z.. I don't care much for thinking about letters beyond those, so it's also extremely likely that this won't work at all...

Code: Select all

"To Upper Hack"
	$cb = "<clipboard>";
	$result = "";
	$i = 0;
	$len = StrLen("$cb");
	while ($i < $len) {
		$charL = SubStr("$cb", $i, 1);
		$charU = chr(asc("$charL")-32);

		if ("$charU" LikeI "$charL") {
			$result = "$result$charU";
		} else { 
			$result = "$result$charL";
		}

		$i = $i + 1;
	}
	Text("$result");

Errr...
#146 stands for "Aaa Aa.*".
Thanks, anyway - may help someone else (that's why this is all done in public, and not via PM...).
-sorry on my part if I forgot to mention that.

Interesting thread on the same problem...
Complex name edit - RegExp or Script?
-it proves that a "0" is not an "O" nor a ".".

First i understood this wrong, so my script handles line breaks too.
Seconds this works only for plain english chars.
Third i messed my script up and i think it's not well written, but at least it works (for me).

It does the same as "A* A*.*", #128; "Capitalize each word in the name(s). Set all non-first letters to lower case. Leave the extension untouched."
At least it looks alike.

Test this script with care.

FROM:
This is #an (long) file name -with [some brackets] and {an} extension.ext
TO:
This Is #An (Long) File Name -With [Some Brackets] And {An} Extension.ext
DO:

Code: Select all

//input string from the clipboard:
$a = "<clipboard>";

  //split into base name and extension:
  $base   = regexreplace($a, "(.+)(\..+)", "$1");
  $ext     = regexreplace($a, "(.+)(\..+)", "$2");
  
  
  //now works with $base:  
  //It does the same as "A* A*.*" Special renaming,  #128; 
  //"Capitalize each word in the name(s). Set all non-first letters to lower case. Leave the extension untouched."  


   $L=1;
   $Out="";
   $temp2="";
   $FirstCharStart=0;
   $FirstCharNonChar="";
   while(1)
   {
      //get every word at an space:
      $word = gettoken($base, $L, " ");
      If ($word ==""){break;}
     
     //Handles ",[,(,{ etc as first char:

     $FirstChar = substr($word, $FirstCharStart, 1);
     $Rest = substr($word, $FirstCharStart+1, 255);

     If ($LB > 0) 
      {
        $temp1 = substr($temp1, 0, $LB+2);
       
        $word2 = substr($word, $LB+2, 255);
        $FirstChar2 = substr($word2, 0, 1);
        $Rest2 = substr($word2, 1, 255);
        If (asc("$FirstChar2") > 96 && < 123){$FirstChar2 = chr(asc("$FirstChar2")-32);}

Randomly picked this as input:

Code: Select all

Next time you could update/post anything else

and had this as an output:

Code: Select all

Next Time You Could Update/post Anything ElseNext time you could update/post anything else

Thought the problem was with the "/", but this

Code: Select all

Next time you could update

results in this

Code: Select all

Next Time You Could UpdateNext time you could update

-is it supposed to work ONLY with files?
Thank you, Stefan!

Posted: **07 Sep 2010 23:07**

Quick dumb fix (can't tell if this affects the whole script in unpredictable ways; it just works with simple sentences; not tested against file names):

Code: Select all

//  $Out = replace($Out$ext, " ".$ext, $ext);
   $Out = replace($Out, " ".$ext, $ext);

-but leaves an undesired blank space at the ending of the output...

Maybe i have not understood it correctly, but regarding to
"Capitalize each word in the name(s). Set all non-first letters to lower case. Leave the extension untouched."
i had modified my script to work now (07 Sep 2010 21:34) on file names,
which are split into base name and extension.

So please make it clear: should this script works for
a) file-name.ext
b) just any multi line string

If b we just drop this "split file name into base and ext"-part

FROM:
Next time you could update/post anything else
TO:
Next Time You Could Update/post Anything Else

this should work. But not for all cases and without error handling:

Code: Select all

//It does the same as "A* A*.*" Special renaming,  #128;
//"Capitalize each word in the name(s). Set all non-first letters to lower case. Leave the extension untouched." 

//input string from the clipboard:
$a = "<clipboard>";

   $L=1;
   $Out="";
   $temp2="";
   $FirstCharStart=0;
   $FirstCharNonChar="";
   while(1)
   {
      //get every word at an space:
      $word = gettoken($a, $L, " ");
      If ($word ==""){break;}
     
     //Handles ",[,(,{ etc as first char:
     $FirstChar = substr($word, $FirstCharStart, 1);
     If (asc("$FirstChar") >  32 && asc("$FirstChar")  <  65){  $FirstCharNonChar = $FirstChar; $FirstCharStart = $FirstCharStart+1;}
     If (asc("$FirstChar") >  90 && asc("$FirstChar")  <  96){  $FirstCharNonChar = $FirstChar; $FirstCharStart = $FirstCharStart+1;}
     If (asc("$FirstChar") > 122 && asc("$FirstChar") < 127){  $FirstCharNonChar = $FirstChar; $FirstCharStart = $FirstCharStart+1;}
     
     //get first char and the rest of the word:

    //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code: Select all

v9.50.0001 - 2010-09-09 11:15
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name:   recase
      Action: Changes the case of a string.

Thank you Don.

FROM:
"Regarding your solution: thanks, this will help a lot with english-based names, but it's quite hard"
TO:
Regarding Your Solution: Thanks, This Will Help A Lot With English-Based Names, But It's Quite Hard

You can use now:

Code: Select all

$A = "Regarding your solution: thanks, this will help a lot with english-based names, but it's quite hard";
   $B = recase($A, "Title");
   text $B;

Note: for multi line strings you needs an ForEach-Line-routine wrapped around.
EDIT:

Code: Select all

v9.50.0002 - 2010-09-12 18:53
    ! SC recase with "title" argument did not count line breaks as word
      delimiters. Fixed. Example:

Some example:

$ITEM = "Frozen Rain - Music Keeps Me Alive.mp3";
text recase($ITEM, "lower"); //> frozen rain - music keeps me alive.mp3

Code: Select all

   //Sentence Case:
   // "Music Keeps Me Alive" >>> "Music keeps me alive"

Hi, Stefan!
I was testing and trying to adapt your solutions as a "new-user friendly" script. But... get myself in trouble, too! lol

As follows:

Code: Select all

$A = <curitem>;
   $B = recase($A, "Title");
   copytext $B; // frozen rain - music Keeps me Alive.Mp3 >> Frozen Rain - Music Keeps Me Alive.Mp3

Output: 
C:\Temp\Test_Folder\Frozen Rain - Music Keeps Me Alive.Mp3
----------

$ITEM = <curitem>;

   $ARTIST = regexreplace($ITEM, "(.+) - (.+)\.(.+)", "$1");
   $TITLE  = regexreplace($ITEM, "(.+) - (.+)\.(.+)", "$2");
   $EXT    = regexreplace($ITEM, "(.+) - (.+)\.(.+)", "$3");

   //Sentence Case:
   $TITLE  = substr($TITLE, 0, 1) . recase(substr($TITLE, 1), "lower");

   copytext "$ARTIST - $TITLE.$EXT"; // Frozen Rain - Music Keeps Me Alive.mp3 >> Frozen Rain - Music keeps me alive.mp3

Output: 
C:\Temp\Test_Folder\Frozen Rain - Music keeps me alive.mp3
----------

$ITEM = <curitem>;
   $ITEM = replace($ITEM, "_", " ");

   $ARTIST = regexreplace($ITEM, "(.+) - (.+)\.(.+)", "$1");
   $TITLE  = regexreplace($ITEM, "(.+) - (.+)\.(.+)", "$2");
   $EXT    = regexreplace($ITEM, "(.+) - (.+)\.(.+)", "$3");

   $ARTIST = recase($ARTIST, "title");
   $TITLE  = substr($TITLE, 0, 1) . recase(substr($TITLE, 1), "lower");
   $c = text "$ARTIST - $TITLE." . recase($EXT, "upper"); // FROZEN_RAIN_-_Music_Keeps_Me_Alive.mp3 >> Frozen Rain - Music keeps me alive.MP3
   copytext $c

Output: 
text "C:\Temp\Test_Folder\Frozen Rain - Music keeps me alive.mp3."MP3
----------

//Invert case:
$ITEM = <curitem>;

  $LOOP=0;
  $OUT="";
  while(1)
  {
    $TOKEN = substr($ITEM, $LOOP, 1);
    If ($TOKEN==""){break;}
   
    $ASC = asc($TOKEN);
    If ( $ASC > 64 && < 91 ){ $TOKEN = chr( $ASC + 32 );}
    If ( $ASC > 96 && < 123){ $TOKEN = chr( $ASC - 32 );}
   
    $OUT = $OUT$TOKEN;
  incr $LOOP;
  }
  copytext $OUT; // FROZEN_RAIN_-_Music_Keeps_Me_Alive.mp3 >> frozen rain - mUSIC kEEPS mE aLIVE.MP3

Output: 
c:|Temp|Testfolder|frozenrain-mUSICkEEPSmEaLIVE.MP3.MP3

-Isn't "curitem" supposed to deal with (and OUTPUT) content WITHOUT the path?
-how to actually rename the items in the files themselves? (Original name should be stored anywhere then renamed as intended - how?)
-how to apply such codes into a multiple selection?
Thank you!
