How to return all characters after ( and before ) in a file name

[Schuller]

Hi ,

I'm trying to return all the characters after ( and before ) in a file name into a custom column.
Can anyone please let me know the script for this.

Thanks

gettoken() * 2?

If my file name is this:
2024-09-19(209CT-209Hydro&Water) $842.28

What exactly do I write in the script area of the custom column configuration to return exactly this into a custom column:
209CT-209Hydro&Water

I think it is about time for you to make an effort and try to read and make sense of the help file.

Trust me, I've spend an enormous amount of time and effort in the help file and more time managing the file manager than getting work done.
Its okay, I'll pass on this sort of assistance. Gotta get back to work.

If anyone else comes across this post and has the exact syntax to return what I'm seeking for then please respond with it and please include a donation option and I'll be sure to donate.

Thanks

Just what highend stated (gettoken *2) so any donations should go to him.

Code: Select all

return gettoken(gettoken(gpc(,"file"),"2","("),"1",")");

I put exactly:

return gettoken(gettoken(gpc(,"file"),"2","("),"1",")");

and it returns nothing

[highend]

Code: Select all

return gettoken(gettoken(<cc_base>, 2, "("), 1, ")");

Thank you!

Yeah, it worked for me, but I should have used <cc_base> for use in a custom column>.
