Hello,

Sorry but Siren changes only file names.
To achieve this task you will have to find another tool.

I'll have to think at this. Maybe will i add it in a future version.

Hello,

For example 3) maybe this command will work:
siren /D C:\MyWebSides /T /F "*.html" /S "*" /A favorite /P /R /Q

I've added the "/P" because else all command line elements are saved in the ".ini" and so will be used during next siren's start.

This file list parameter can be interesting if the files to rename can't be easily "grouped" with a filter.
I'll think to it for a next version.

Thanks.

Hello,

As an expression can contain many regex and as "match" and "not match" can both be interesting results i am not sure to understand.

Thanks

I am not sure that the default file order returned by the system functions is constant.

Displaying in the status bar the expression text just as a standard help for a menu option is an interesting idea.
I'all add it.
Thanks.

Rapidly thinking, here is how i see things under the next version (2.00):
- First save the current directory's file names.
The problem here will be to retrieve the original file order for the rollback. As only renamings will be done maybe sorting the file list on the creation/modification date time can be an idea. Select the files and copy the names to the clipboard (Ctrl+Shift+P, like in the 1.90), paste in a text editor and save the file. "C:\test_flist.txt" for example.
- Make the needed tests
- Resort the file list following the original criteria
- Select the files and apply a rename expression like: %T{"C:\\test_flist.txt"}
(this is currently the syntax of the text file line extraction)

Another idea might be: depending on the length of your file list maybe could it be possible to transform it into an expression.

Hello Stefan,

A happy new year 2007 to you too !!

I think it can be done too using regular expressions but the length and complexity of the result should not be much better than the "replace chain".

I'll think to it for the version after the 2.00.

Thanks for this suggestion and all your posts !!

Not a bad idea.
It surely has to be investigated.

Writing help is a very heavy and delicate task ...

These key sequences (Ctrl+I, Ctrl+P) will change in the 2.00. A long time ago a user wrote me because he noticed the reverse: global key sequences like F5, Ctrl+R, Ctrl+K ... were not usable when one of the combos had the focus.
I've changed this and of course changed the specific "expression combo"'s ones.

You can replace "99" with "-1" which means "all remaining occurences".

Syntactically it disturbs me a bit but maybe are you right.
I note this point in my "todo" list.

Thanks.
