Check for part of a file name with wild cards


Recommended Posts

Looking for ideas

I have 2 files.

xxxxxD.txt and xxxxxP.txt  I need to restore them to right place, but to do that I need to know if it's *D.txt or *P.txt.

They will overwrite the corresponding files. attempted to try with this but I didn't expect it would work. Any help would be appreciated.

$Restore_FileName = _PathSplit($Restore_FilePath, $R_szDrive, $R_szDir, $R_szFName, $R_szExt)
                $NameMatch = $R_szFName & $R_szExt
                If $NameMatch = "*D.txt" Then
                    MsgBox(4096, "Found D", $NameMatch)
                Else
                    MsgBox(4096, "?", $NameMatch)
                EndIf

ravaged1,

Just the job for a RegEx:

#include <File.au3>

Local $R_szDrive, $R_szDir, $R_szFName, $R_szExt



$Restore_FilePath = "C:\Foo\xxxxxD.txt"
$Restore_FileName = _PathSplit($Restore_FilePath, $R_szDrive, $R_szDir, $R_szFName, $R_szExt)
$NameMatch = $R_szFName & $R_szExt

If StringRegExp($NameMatch, "^.*D\.txt$") Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Found D", $NameMatch)
Else
    MsgBox(4096, "?", $NameMatch)
EndIf



$Restore_FilePath = "C:\Foo\xxxxxP.txt"
$Restore_FileName = _PathSplit($Restore_FilePath, $R_szDrive, $R_szDir, $R_szFName, $R_szExt)
$NameMatch = $R_szFName & $R_szExt

If StringRegExp($NameMatch, "^.*P\.txt$") Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Found P", $NameMatch)
Else
    MsgBox(4096, "?", $NameMatch)
EndIf

​The Script above won't fail. If I remove a file or the D and P but I see where StringRegExp is the way to go. Thanks a lot I'll dig into it.

ravaged1,

I am afraid I do not understand your comment. The script does exactly what you asked:

I need to know if it's *D.txt or *P.txt

So what is it that you really want to do?

​I just meant I gives the Found message even if the files doesn't exist.

You did answer my question though, I just needed to find a function that would help me determine if a file ends with P then do stuff If D then do other stuff.

ravaged1,

Fine - as long as you have what you need.

Although in future when you reply, please use the "Reply to this topic" button at the top of the thread or the "Reply to this topic" editor at the bottom rather than the "Quote" button - I know what I wrote and it just pads the thread unnecessarily.

ravaged1,

It's nice, clean and modern

Most people seem to think that it is too washed-out - nice to hear a positive comment for a change.

just not idiot proof

Given the number of bugs we are finding, it is not just idiots who need proofing against!
