How to extract file names

[gkmaz9]

Part of the code for understanding

Code: Select all

[!WriteKeyValue "Variables" "Name" "$File$" "#@#variables.inc""]

I want to record the AAA.png(or CCC.jpg) in variables.inc

'$File$' extracts everything, including the path
ex) C:\sss\AAA.png

but I want to extract the file name including extension Except path.
ex) AAA.png

Please tell me a good way

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[Variables]
MyVar=C:\sss\AAA.png

[MeasureFileName]
Measure=String
String=#MyVar#
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute=".*\\(.*)":"\1"

[MeterFileName]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureFileName
FontSize=13
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1

The key to this is the String measure. You can use that as a [SectionVariable] anywhere you need, and it will return that substituted string value.

Thank you for answer. However, it is a more special situation.
I am trying to extract the filename of 'drag and drop random file'.
and It should be written in [Variables]

main.ini

Code: Select all

[DragNDropChild1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Drag&Drop
Parent=DragNDropParent
Bounds=Box1
Action=Path
OnOverAction=[!SetOption DragNDropChild1 OnDropAction """[!WriteKeyValue "Variables" "Name1" "C:\Users\USER\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Todo\Save\#YR##MT##DY#\$File$" "#@#log\#YR##MT##DY#.inc""][!Update]"""][!Update]
OnLeaveAction=[!SetOption DragNDropChild1 OnDropAction ""][!Update]

When I drag and drop the file(C:\Users\USER\Documents\DDD\AAA.png),
I want this result

#YR##MT##DY#.inc

Code: Select all

[Variables]
Name1=C:\Users\USER\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Todo\Save\#YR##MT##DY#\AAA.png

But the current result is...

#YR##MT##DY#.inc

Code: Select all

[Variables]
Name1=C:\Users\USER\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Todo\Save\#YR##MT##DY#\C:\Users\USER\Documents\DDD\AAA.png

Well, I don't know anything about the Drag&Drop plugin, but explore something like this:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[Variables]

[DragNDropChild1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Drag&Drop
Parent=DragNDropParent
Bounds=Box1
Action=Path
OnOverAction=[!SetOption DragNDropChild1 OnDropAction """[!SetOption MeasureFileName String "[DragNDropChild1]"]"""][!Update]
OnLeaveAction=[!SetOption DragNDropChild1 OnDropAction ""][!Update]

[MeasureFileName]
Measure=String
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute=".*\\(.*)":"\1"
OnChangeAction=[!WriteKeyValue "Variables" "Name1" "C:\Users\USER\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Todo\Save\#YR##MT##DY#\[DragNDropChild1]" "#@#log\#YR##MT##DY#.inc""][!Update]

[MeterFileName]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureFileName
FontSize=13
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1

In any case, the key is getting the value of the path and filename of the file into a measure were you can extract just the filename using Substitute.

There is another tip about that posted by ~Faradey~ here: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=9594

I found the answer by applying what you told me appropriately.
