ExtractSingleWord

[DarkStar]

Anyone have any idea how to use the ExtractSingleWord (or ExtractSingleWordFrom) tool in the Rename item>Advanced>Functions sub-menu of the batcher? Selecting it just brings up several inscrutable text-entry boxes that appear to do nothing.

I'm trying to unify several different naming schemes and need to extract a sequence number from some old file names. I was looking for some sort of regex evaluator, but I can't tell if this function does anything similar to that.

There used to be a post asking about this function in IDI, but it was apparently lost when the forums were reorganized.

Thanks! This code I found in the macro command parameter listing for IDImager ended up doing exactly what I want (extracting a sequence number):

Code: Select all

%FileName{word=1,right,_}

(Also, it might be worth adding a mod_rewrite rule so Google search links work again.)
