StringReplace start....

[Vindicator209]

I'm making a little program that takes numbers out of filenames (music files...)

Problem is, (after quite some time of figuring out) the StringReplace I was using wasn't searching the string, rather just using my var as a start...

heres a little bit of it:

$NewName is a copy variable for the file($Files) name, so just pretend it is "005 My Song.mp3" for the time being

$NewName = StringTrimRight($Files[$i],3)

For $a = 0 to 9

$NewName = StringReplace($NewName,Number($a),"")

Next

Now, as i said earlier, instead of replacing the number, it replaces the whole string...

how can I get it to delete the TEXT number?

P.S. The Number() is there cause that was one of the things I tried..heh...

Hi,

Global $str[3] = ['C:\Downloads\test\bla\hugo\004 test.mp3', '004 Summer of 69.mp3', 'My 12 Song.mp3']

For $i = 0 To UBound($str) - 1
    ConsoleWrite(_replaceLeadingDigits($str[$i]) & @CRLF)
Next

Func _replaceLeadingDigits($path)
    If StringInStr($path, '\') Then
        Local $return
        Local $parts_A = StringSplit($path, '\')
        Local $changed = StringRegExpReplace($parts_A[$parts_A[0]], '\A[\d|\s]*', '')
        For $i = 1 To UBound($parts_A) - 2
            $return &= $parts_A[$i] & '\'
        Next
        Return $return & $changed
    EndIf
    Return StringRegExpReplace($path, '\A[\d|\s]*', '')
EndFunc   ;==>_replaceLeadingDigits

Well truthfully I have never used StringRegExpReplace until now, so I was confused but hey, I guess I learned something new, thanks again.
