(req) File Rename Script (windows)

[themugger]

Hi All, i have had a good look through but cannot see anything similar to what im after. all i want to do is rename the movie file/s to the folder name after downloading. I have no scripting experience so was wondering if anyone had something already along these lines.

This is for Windows, thanks for any help with this.

this is more difficult than it might seem, because sab only tells you the folder name.  Also, it wraps params  in "" which can cause grief.  SO this might look overly complex, but I believe it's necessary.  you also need to download the unix util (win version) sed 1.5, which as you can see I have put in c:\uutils

Code: Select all

call :remquot %3
set name=%newvar%

REM rename isos or bins

call :remquot %1
set dirname=%newvar%

for %%f in ("%dirname%\*.iso") do rename "%%f" "%name%.iso"
for %%f in ("%dirname%\*.bin") do rename "%%f" "%name%.bin"
for %%f in ("%dirname%\*.nrg") do rename "%%f" "%name%.nrg"
for %%f in ("%dirname%\*.img") do rename "%%f" "%name%.img"
for %%f in ("%dirname%\*.mdf") do rename "%%f" "%name%.mdf"

GOTO :EOF


:remquot
echo %1| c:\uutils\sed15.exe -e "s/^/set newvar\=/" -e "s/\"//g" > newvar.bat
call newvar.bat
del newvar.bat
GOTO :EOF

Removing quotes is rather easy to do in CMD itself.

Code: Select all

set name=%1
set name=%name:"=%

For more info on this see:
http://windowsitpro.com/article/article ... essor.html

BTW, it's not possible for us to remove the quotes.
It's something deep down in the Windows libraries of the programming language (Python) we use.

(The problem does not occur on Linux/OSX, there you will never get quotes.)

Thanks for your help in trying to write this script for me, unfortunetly (most probally me doing something totally wrong) it does not work for me - the error from this script is below...

Code: Select all

that is a neat trick with the quotes; cheers   I managed to completely overlook that feature!



so, themugger, replace

Code: Select all

call :remquot %1
set dirname=%newvar%

with

Code: Select all

set dirname=%1
set dirname=%dirname:"=%

and the same sort of thing for the name variable and you should be good to go

[themugger]

perfect, changed the script and all working now - thankyou. for any one else that would like to use this then below is the script

Code: Select all

set name=%3
set name=%name:"=%

REM rename isos or bins

set dirname=%1
set dirname=%dirname:"=%

for %%f in ("%dirname%\*.iso") do rename "%%f" "%name%.iso"
for %%f in ("%dirname%\*.bin") do rename "%%f" "%name%.bin"
for %%f in ("%dirname%\*.nrg") do rename "%%f" "%name%.nrg"
for %%f in ("%dirname%\*.img") do rename "%%f" "%name%.img"
for %%f in ("%dirname%\*.mdf") do rename "%%f" "%name%.mdf"
for %%f in ("%dirname%\*.mov") do rename "%%f" "%name%.mov"
for %%f in ("%dirname%\*.avi") do rename "%%f" "%name%.avi"

GOTO :EOF


:remquot
echo %1| "D:\downloads\scripts\sed15.exe" -e "s/^/set newvar\=/" -e "s/\"//g" > newvar.bat

Thanks again doubledrat

Or you could just do this...

cd /d %1
if exist *.iso ren *.iso %3.iso

(Repeat as necessary for whatever file type)
