New subdirectory parameter option added to limagito file mover

New subdirectory parameter option added

We recently added a new directory parameter option :?=?: > :BeginIndex=EndIndex:

It will split any var which contains a backslash and can be used for example with our %SFS Var = Source File Subfolder(s).

For example if %SFS would contain “Bak\BakSub\UNIT_1_4.1.2025”. The result of the split would be:

  • Index 1: Bak
  • Index 2: BakSub
  • Index 3: UNIT_1_4.1.2025

When you set the BeginIndex to 0 (zero) then we’ll start at the highest Index. Some examples:

  • %SFS:0=1:
    • 0 > start at the highest index
    • 1 > use the last subfolder part only
    • Result would be: UNIT_1_4.1.2025
  • %SFS:2=3:
    • 2 > start at index 2
    • 3 > End at index 3
    • Result would be: BakSub\UNIT_1_4.1.2025

Many combinations are possible. Please check the following blog article where we used this new parameter option.

– File renaming setup when you have multiple levels of subfolders and you only need the parent subfolder name:

  • %SFS:0=1:
    • 0 > start at the end of the subfolders(s) Var %SFS > %SFS = Source File Subfolder(s)
    • 1 > use the last subfolder part only
RegEx:  (.*)\.(.*)
Replacement:  %SFS:0=1:.\2
