script request to quickly rename file with date

[bebotette]

Hello. I wish to have the following steps done to help me rename files/folders in a specific way:

Example text from clipboard to be fetched: This is a Christmas gift
Output I wanted when renaming a file/folder: 20230210_This_is_a_Christmas_gift
-where the date is the date today
-where all spaces are converted to underscores "_"
-where the text case is not affected
-where the spaces at the end of the clipboard (assuming the text in the clipboard has extra spaces after the word "gift") are removed

Thank you!

PS: does this fall under 'Rename' or 'Run Script'?

renameitem(formatdate(, "yyyymmdd") . "_" . replace(trim(<clp>), " ", "_"));

Thanks. Please tell me if I did the right steps because I'm getting an error (attached):
1. Went to User > Managed User-Defined Commands
2. Under category, I clicked 'Run Script'
3. Added a new command, then on the script field, I pasted the one you provided.

Now when I click on a file and trigger this command, I get some error. Please help.

Show the button definition with the script part visible...

It seems like you are running the script with the script still on the clipboard.

Thanks for all your input. It took me some tries to finally get the hang of it.

Thanks a lot! It works!
