    How to use parameters within the regex rename option

    How to use parameters within the regex rename option

    Q:  have a case where I’m getting several files from a folder. I’m getting the following files with my filter:

    20240212_P2.pdf

    20240213_P2.pdf

    Where 20240212 represents the date. I’m wanting the files output it to so they are consecutive pages on the same day:

    20240213_P1.pdf

    20240213_P2.pdf

    In my file rename in the destination, I know that I could do something like (20240212)_([A-Z]\d+).pdf in the regex so I can accurately match the file, but it would be really cool if I could use (%TCD:mmddyyyy)_([A-Z]\d+).pdf with the parameter being used as a literal to match on, but I know Limagito is not setup to do that. This is more of a feature request as it would make it really useful.

    Thanks for all you guys do!

    A: We added a new option in v2024.2.16.0 to allow this. This is an advanced option, so it is a bit ‘hidden’.

    • Schedule button > Advanced Tab > “Allow Params In RegEx Renaming”:

    parameters within the regex rename option

    • File rename example using parameters within the RegEx field:

    Lower case file rename using regular expression

    Q: We are having some trouble coming up with a proper reg-ex that will rename our files properly, and would like some advice.

    We are receiving files that are named as follows.

    ABCDE_ABC

    We would like to rename them to

    ABCDE_abc

    We have found several reg-ex commands that will do this, but none of them seem to work in the Limagito application. I am sure we have something wrong, but I am unable to find something that will give us the output that we want.

    Do you have any suggestions? Or perhaps an example string?

    Q: Yes this is possible using our File Rename option in your Destination setup:

    • Destination “File Rename” Setup

    Limagito File Mover Destination File Rename Setup

    > We are receiving files that are named as follows: ABCDE_ABC

    > We would like to rename them to ABCDE_abc

    We guess these file have a file extension so you could use:

    Lower Case File Rename RegEx

     

    #FileTransfer #RegEx

    If you need any info about this ‘lower case file rename ’ request, please let us know.
