Just popping in

Hi, guys! Long time no chat.

I am looking for some help. I need a script to rename 600+ files. The filename has the date in it, I want to change the format.

mark_ritter_31072020_1628_xxxx_yyy.jpg

I want to change JUST the date format to:

mark_ritter_2020-07-31_1628_xxxx_yyy.jpg

leaving the rest of the filename the same. The date is in the same position for every filename.

I would like an ARexx or DOS script. Put it in the drawer. Execute it. It scans in all the names and renames them.

Thanks!!!

Have some memory of making a Directory Opus script.. But can't find it on my X5000..

Tested on a two file list, haven't had the will to create more files

*NOT* optimized!


/* */



ADDRESS COMMAND 'list mark#? lformat="%n" >filelist.txt'



OPEN(fl,'filelist.txt','R')



DO WHILE ~EOF(fl)

    fn=READLN(fl)

    /*

    Catch empty lines and skip them

    */

    IF fn~=' ' THEN DO

        fn_date=SUBSTR(fn,13,8)

        fn_date_day=SUBSTR(fn_date,1,2)

        fn_date_month=SUBSTR(fn_date,3,2)

        fn_date_year=SUBSTR(fn_date,5,4)

        fn_date=fn_date_year'-'fn_date_month'-'fn_date_day

        fn_new=INSERT('..',fn,13,2)

        fn_new=OVERLAY(fn_date,fn_new,13)
