rename script - Help!

[maurizio]

Hello,
in order to make a batch rename of a large set of images, I'm building my custom batch command.
I saw that it is possible to embed a script into the file names rules

Capture.JPG (22.84 KiB) Viewed 3186 times

This is one of the great advantages of PSU over its competitors.

So I put my own script in %code, in order to extract the last 4 digits of the numeric part of the file name.
I tried a script like this:

Code: Select all

result := RightStr(%FileNumber, 4);

but I got a number different than what I expected. Maybe %FileNumber returns a pointer which should be converted to a string ?
Can anybody help me ?

Thanks in advance

Maurizio

You don't need a script for that; try this instead:

Code: Select all

%FileNumber{right=4}.%FileExtension

If you want it in a script; I think this would give the same (but slower than macro only)

Code: Select all

result := RightStr('%FileNumber', 4);
