QuoteMC do [does?] change UI size depending on DPI settings.Are you sure? I've never noticed Vista's DPI settings affecting many apps' GUI font (esp. config screens). But, don't mess w/ it that much & most apps don't use quite this small of font OR have this MANY options (having the options is a good thing - just not very small font, sorting thru them).
)& OT (but still about regexs!)
Is the greyed out regex box in the mass rename dialog temporary?
Is it just my lack of skill or StrReplace won't accept a regex at all?StrReplace replaces substrings.
I wonder if there is already a good way to hi-lite the text for ease of editing (I've found with notepad++ I can save as a codepage & get coloured results, eg:- as .pl or .php), which helps me at the moment.Well use an external editor is the option for that. The built in editor in MC will not support syntax coloring anytime soon. cost so much (in time) to include an edit that support that.
For regex you mention StrRegExpFind is there also StrRegExpReplace? (If so I haven't seen it in the docs) I am currently assuming that the the find command will then invoke the regex to do any necessary editing.Only functions you see in doc is there. or in release note for latest beta version if it is a new function.. after final release doc is updated.
I'm wondering about vars & 'scope' (sorry, I wasn't using correct terminology)That is because there is no script error. but I think you are sending the wrong data into RenameFile(...)
As you can see from the screen shot in the post above, the debugger didn't red-flag anything but it didn't rename the selected folder either.
I therefore wondered if the script requires all predefined vars to be included in {} operations before it will execute.The { } are "scopes" for loops or other conditional expressions.. For example if the expression inside an if( ... ) is true the scope belonging to the if is executed. else it is not.
Apart from that I cannot see why it didn't execute... No obvious elements like RUN or END etc jump out at me
Is it necessary to include all variables in the { instruction} groups?Eh ? { are for defining a scope. and loops and conditional expressions will execute its scope if the expression is true.
I wonder why it shows a change in the debugger but doesn't pass the change to the active selection. Is it waiting for other vars to be handled?The value that the debugger show is what the script engine has for that variable.
If \d is digit is \a letter? Wondering about ?\a in this situation.\d and \a and all other strange combination is regex stuff. You have to google/bing how regex works. I'm not an expert at regular expressions.
Better start reading a book on PHP if the forms are similar I guess.MultiScript is not PHP.. but it follows the same programming method as any program language like c/c++/javascrfipt/java/php.. men only in its syntax and structure.. not in built in functions.
Did you say you were going to add permanent line numbers to the debugger? (That display when debugger is stopped)No. it will not be added.
RegExp are a pain. There are many reqex online testers/editor. try one of them they might be helpful when creating regex.
You can not send an entire array into a function that expect a string.. You need to send each item (string) from the array one by one from the array into the function.
Also do not put to much in one line inside each other. the debugger will stop after ever line, so if you got many things in a line then you will not see what went wrong. (You can shorten it afterwards)Code: [Select]@var $arr = GetSourceSelectedFileNames();( Or something like that.. code above is NOT tested.. )
@var $items = arrayCount($arr);
@var $OrgName;
@var $NewName;
@var $n = 0;
for( $n = 0; $n < $items; $n++ )
{
$CurrentNameFullPath = $arr[ $n ];
// The the Filename part only. (Since the TO name in RenameFile does not accept a path)
$NewName = PathGetNamePart( $CurrentNameFullPath );
// replace . with empty.
$NewName = StrReplace( $NewName, "." , "" )
// Rename current file to a new name.
RenameFile( $CurrentNameFullPath, $NewName, "SILENT" );
}
