Enumerating Directories and their names into an array

[dufran3]

Ok, here is what I'm trying to do, and I will post what I have so far. I have a directory...C:\Movies. I want to enumerate the number of directories inside of that directory, and create a count. I then want to somehow put the names of all of those directories into an array. And be able to change the directory names base on content. Basically, I have a movie collection, and want to search IMDB for the production year, using the directory name, say for example C:\Movies\The Dark Knight, and then rename the directory to say, The Dark Knight (2009). Not sure if this is even possible, but this is what I have so far.

dufran3,

I want to enumerate the number of directories inside of that directory, and create a count

Look at _FileListToArray in the Help file. If you set $iFlag to 2, you only list the folders.

be able to change the directory names base on content

Look at StringInStr to find which folder names contain the required text and then DirMove to change the name.

All clear?

Those functions work. Was trying to get the _FileListtoArray function to create a 2 dimension array, so that I can store the year for each movie in $array[$][0], still trying to figure that one out. Also, do you have any idea of a good way to get the movie year into the script? Seems like there would be an easier way than opening a browser, navigating to IMDB and trying to search the text for a year....thanks for your help thus far!

This is what I have now: trying to figure out the best way to populate the $Year and $Type. I figure I will scan the subfolder, and if a .mkv is found, set to [blu-ray], if Video_TS is found, set to [DVD]. But still need to work on the logistics of that.

Glad to see your NFO problem is solved. One of the problems loading the movie info from IMDB is that there is often more than resultant one movie title so IMDB shows a list of titles. I think you would be fetter served by populating the corresponding NFO with the correct link and read your results from that NFO. Here is a rough script that can give you some insight (maybe) on doing an IMDB search. Once again, this is rough so if you want find a more efficient way of doing this, you should.

REQUIRES Firefox and FF.au3(found on the forum)

#include <FF.au3>

Local $File, $Movie, $Phrases
$Phrases = '(?i)DVDRip|(?i)DVDscr|(?i)R5|(?i)english|(?i)720p|(?i)1080p|(?i)1080i|(?i)BluRay|(?i)PROPER|(?i)x264|(?i)HDTV|(?i)HDDVD|(?i)UNRATED|(?i)REPACK|(?i)LIMITED|(?i)DTS|(?i)xvid|(?i)divx|(?i)mkv|(?i)avi|(?i)mpg|(?i)mp4|\[.*\]|\(.*\)|\{.*\}'

;Next If...Endif opens File Open Dialouge if not compiled and no Parameters are sent
If $CmdLine[0] = 0 Then
    $File = FileOpenDialog("Select an AVI file", @ScriptDir, "AVI Files (*.avi)", 1)
    If @error Then Exit
Else
    $File = $CmdLine[1]
EndIf

$Movie = StringRegExpReplace($File, '^.+\\|\.avi$', '') ;returns the AVI file name minus the path and extension
$Movie = StringRegExpReplace($Movie, $Phrases, '')  ;Strips common phrases/brackets, parentheses, and braces (and text between)
$Movie = StringRegExpReplace($Movie, ' *$', '') ;removes trailing spaces
$Movie = StringRegExpReplace($Movie, ' ', '+')  ;replaces spaces between words with "+" for correct IMDB search
MsgBox(32, 'Result', 'Ready to search IMDB for: ' & $Movie) ;shows the phrase to be searched in IMDB
If Not $Movie Then Exit ;if $Movie is blank, exit
_FFConnect()    ;open Firefox session and connect
Do
    Sleep(10)
Until _FFIsConnected()  ;Idle around until Firefox connection established
_FFTabAdd('http://imdb.com/find?' & $Movie) ;Search IMDB for your phrase
_FFLoadWait()   ;Wait until IMDB search page has loaded
MsgBox(32, 'Finished', 'Page finished loading...check results') ;exit message
Exit
