sbrady 1 Posted November 2, 2012 below is a bunch of code that takes desktop files selected in a window and displays a message box if the name contains the word "mix". The result returned (on line 40) is something like this: C:\Documents and Settings\sebrad\Desktop\shawn\AR123 Smith, Bob v1 FULL MIX.txt I just need to make AR123 Smith, Bob v1 FULL MIX.txt into this AR123 Smith, Bob FULL MIX v1.txt any ideas.

BrewManNH 1,302 Posted November 2, 2012 Do you even test this stuff before posting it? You have the start of your function inside a comment block which causes this script to be unusable as-is. Plus you forgot a couple of Next's in there as well. This section of code was written wrong, it's not doing what you're thinking it's doing. For $File_Name = 1 To $aSelection[0]; check if file name contains "Full MIX" or "SOT MIX" or "M&E MIX" $result = StringInStr($aSelection[$File_Name], "mix", 0, 1) If $result > 0 Then MsgBox(4096, "THE result", $File_Name);C:Documents and SettingssebradDesktopshawnAR123 Smith, Bob v1 FULL MIX.txt ; rename the variable $File_Name which is, AR123 Smith, Bob v1 FULL MIX.txt to this AR123 Smith, Bob FULL MIX v1.txt EndIf Next Try it this way, might work for you. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

sbrady 1 Posted November 2, 2012 M23 thanks for the help, I am outta here for the weekend and am booked with other projects on Monday and Tuesday, I'll be back at it on Wed. thanks for the help. I'll see if I can figure out your code. I have made some progress on my end but will be asking for guidance when I post. M23 Can you put a stop to the bullying. Brewman......I have to block you from my posts, so might as well not even try, I wont even see your posts, you are just too mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melba23 3,355 Posted November 2, 2012 sbrady,M23 Can you put a stop to the bullyingI wish I could put a stop to your constant complaining when people try to help you. What you got there is called "constructive criticism" and you even got a suggestion as to how you might fix the code. If you call that bullying, how on earth do you live in the real world?

Melba23 3,355 Posted November 5, 2012 sbrady,where is this in the help file?Perhaps if you looked in the Help file under the StringRegExpReplace function name? Although most of the details are under StringregExp itself - the 2 pages are linked. But be warned, SREs are possibly the hardest thing I have ever tried to learn in computing and I am still far from expert in their use. I always point people to www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html to learn more about them. Good luck if you decide to have a go - you will need it.
