extended DIR syntax?

[[email protected]]

Hi,

C:\> global /i /q for %fn in (*MA[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]_[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].jpg) ren /n "%fn" %@le
ft[-15,%@name["%fn"]].jpg

Is there a way to make sure the MA are both uppercase - besides doing a:

IF @INSTR[start,[length],string] type test on each charachter?

Sorry, no.

I had written:

---
Use DIR and a regular expression: DIR /B ::.*MA\d{8}_\d{4}\.(?i)jpg (I think).
You can use the output of the DIR command as FOR's "set".
---

But then I discovered, it seems, that DIR with regexes is not case sensitive
(even though the regex is). See my other, upcoming post.

v:\> for /f "tokens=*" %file in ( 'dir /b ::.*\.bat' ) echo %file
a b c.bat
anagram.bat
bdb.bat
ctrlc.bat
qbat.bat
test.bat

v:\> for /f "tokens=*" %file in ( 'dir /b ::.*\.BAT' ) echo %file
a b c.bat
anagram.bat
bdb.bat
ctrlc.bat
qbat.bat
test.bat

global /i /q (*dir /b
*MA[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]_[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].jpg |
*ffind /c /v /m /k
/T"MA" | for %fn in (@con:) echo ren /n "%fn" %@left[-15,%@name["%fn"]].jpg)

Ugly, but seems to work. Piping through ffind /c is the key for my attempt.

Of course, remove the "echo" that I was using for testing.

The only problem is that a filename like zMAzma00000000_0000.jpg matches all
the tests, even though not matching the intended test.

I don't see an alternative to using an IF test using the EQC operator on the
specific characters, something like this:

do fn in /s
*MA[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]_[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].jpg
set n=%@name["%fn"]
if "%@left[2,%@right[15,%n]]" EQC "MA" ren "%fn" %@left[-15,%n]].jpg
enddo

BTW, Charles, are you sure you wanted %@left[-15,%@name["%fn"]], which keeps
the leftmost 15 characters, potentially dropping some of the digits, rather
than %@right[15,%@name["%fn"]] which would strip all characters matching the
* portion of the search string, retaining MA and all digits?

I guess it's easier to use ffind to do the whole match, since the
regular expression (/e"...") is case sensitive.

Does this do it?

global /i /q (dir/b | ffind /k /m /v /e"MA\d{8,8}_\d{4,4}\.jpg$" | for
%fn in (@con:) ren /n "%fn" %@left[-15,%@name["%fn"]].jpg)

Steve, if you notice the %@left[-15,%@name["%fn"]] will actually take all
but the 15 rightmost charachters, due to the minus 15 and not the positive
15. And I had forgotten about the EQC test - thanks. Now it will be easier
to test the two charachters together.
