Reorganizing folder names

Postby RichardV » Tue Jan 16, 2018 4:59 pm

Hello,

I am completely new in this program and in coding. Can I kindly ask you for help in below?
I have list of folders like this - Name Surname 23654 noun
Order of the words is different in each folder, same goes for the numbers and amount of the nouns.
I would like to organize them like this Noun (eight digits number, if in original I miss 8 digits, zeros must be added at the beginning of the number string) Name Surname.
Is this possible to create in JavaScript?

BR

This (not JS) might handle some of it (might need some slight cleanup, like trailing {sp}).

1:RegEx
Code: Select all
Match:  (.* )(\d+ )(.*)
Replace:  \3 \2\1

The padding of the number...

Maybe something like, instead of using above, use a similar RegEx, put the number in the first position, then "manually" (visually) look through the list (oh, that's nasty) selecting the ones that need (1, then 2, then 3...) 0's for padding, & use 7:Add to add the needed 0's. Then use yet another similar RegEx to again rearrange things, moving things, with the now padded numbers, into the wanted final order.
