My bad (':oops:'). Sorry for stating that without doing further research.

(':?') Perl is quite different from the syntax I got used...

You can do this without gui as:

It still amazes me when people develop such complex applications in AHK. AHK is great for key hooks and anything I/O-related, but I hope they give other languages like C++ and Java a try too.

People on this thread might be interested in AF5 Rename Your Files http://www.fauland.com/af5.htm - it's saved me hours of time in total.

There is nothing to be amazed about. Its just a personal taste in question. The complexity is also personal thing. IMO, MRS is not that complex.

The benefit of mainstream languages is codebase, rich frameworks, and in this case (c++ java) compiler. The benefit of non-mainstream languages like AHK are fun, being able to program again (there are low number of frameworks so you have to do it yourself, programming in mentioned languages today is 95% design, 5% coding) and (in this case) absence of compiler (I prefer dynamic languages with integrated automation features).

I agree with you, however. AHK is not suitable for more complex projects.
I personally do it because my opinion is that automation as basic language feature is must today. If you think about it, thats what you need in all aspects of life - automatic management.

BTW, AF5 sucks big time. You should give MRS a try

----------------

I am probably rewritting script in 2.0. Some of the things I am thinking are:

1. Creation of MRS framework so you can write MRS scripts.
2. Gui removal. With framework in place you can create your kind of interface (console, gui, web, whatever...)

FYI: A really good renamer is RenameMaster, maybe you can get some ideas from it.

Rename master is nice altho I don't see any thing it does it can't be done with MRS. It doesn't support plugins too so you are stucked with defaults.
I totally don't like GUI driven approach. Domain specific language is the way to go for me.

Anyway, thanks for providing link to this progy. Perhaps linking it in Utilities forum would be useful.

You are right. Yours is way better

One thing it does have though: it shows/warns for collisions.

And I guess the GUI options are good for newbs who are not that good with RegEx.

I'll add it to the Utilities forum (and link to your program)

I only needed to add a date and a counter to files, and it was the first I came across, but yes, both of these apps are much more awesome, should I need something more complex. Cheers for that!

I told you so

The only thing it has is unlimited number of steps you can add, but, that will change in MRS 2.0.

How to add this funtion,that it,if instring(FILENAME,"MarkME"),then add "MArk" at the begining of the filename?
IT's only to add a prefix to certain files that have some wanted String!

eg,
HEres file:
FileA,Filebasfsdfs,FileC23sMArkME,FileEqweqwe,FileFMarkme,
Renname FileC23sMArkME to "Mark_[the old name]"

@majkinetor: Nice work, as usual...
...and AFX (aka Aphex Twin) is the only ambience I can listen to, when programming

Here is some more for you then:

• Yagya - The Rythm of Snow
• Monolake - Hong Kong
• Anders Ilar - Everdom

Enjoy

You need to write new Mask plugin. More info in tutorial. Save this in plugins folder as Prefix.ahk and u can use it.





You could use different syntax (non dot one), for instance


and you need #3 for that one....

Great. It's my favorite!
Thank you very much!
Since you'v done,why not add it to the uploaded downloading files?

U r welcome.

Anyway, if any of you guys have some suggestions now is the right time.
