I have an .HTML file that has many photos attached to it for displaying a photo gallery. I'm replacing old photos with new ones, and I'm thinking there must be a more intelligent way than simply copying and pasting repetitive file names.
I would love to be able to replace and increment a file name on each replace, starting at a base file name of my choosing. For example...
...images/69thStreet010.jpg
...images/69thStreet011.jpg
...images/69thStreet012.jpg
Basically performing a CTRL+F and REPLACE '69thStreet010.jpg' with...
...images/xyz001.jpg
...images/xyz002.jpg
...images/xyz003.jpg
And so on until I want it to stop. Anyone here have any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
UPDATE: I should also add, I'm using Notepad++ to edit my files.
Look into the Column Editor feature within Notepad++. You can do a block select on the area you want to increment and then give it a starting/ending range and you're all set.
I was in a similar situation recently. I did a little bit of regular expression search/replace to get my filenames into my "default" format with some padded "000" where I wanted my incrementing to start. After that, I used Shift+ALT to block select the 000s and used the editor to do the rest of the work.
OK, I came up with a Notepad++ solution.
It does require you to install the Notepad++ plugin PythonScript.
It is a TextPad-like incremental replace.
i.e.
Search and replace integer values within a string
replacing incrementally starting with 1 (0 is the default starting value):
In your case it would be
Search: ...images/69thStreet[0-9]+.jpg
Replace: ...images/xyz00\i(1).jpg
Install the PythonScript plugin.
Save the code below as a PythonScript and associate a shortcut (i.e. Ctrl+i) to it:
Then open your html file in Notepad++ and run the script below on your html file.
When prompted by the search replace dialogue, enter the following 2 lines:
...images/69thStreet[0-9]+.jpg
...images/xyz00\i(1).jpg
Now, all instances of
...images/69thStreet010.jpg
...images/69thStreet011.jpg
...images/69thStreet012.jpg
will become
...images/xyz001.jpg
...images/xyz002.jpg
...images/xyz003.jpg
Here is the PythonScript code
from Npp import *
import re, string
# First we'll start an undo action, then Ctrl-Z will undo the actions of the whole script
editor.beginUndoAction()
expression = notepad.prompt("Enter the search string on the first line, followed by Ctrl+Enter, \n" +
"followed by the replace string on second line",
"Incremental Search/Replace" ,
"")
expressionList = re.split(r"[\n\r]+", expression)
if len(expressionList) == 2:
foundCount = [0]
def incrementalReplace(parmReplaceStr,parmFoundCount):
varPatternI = r'\\i\((?P<starting>[0-9]+)\)'
varPatternIi = r'\\i'
varPatternISearch = re.search(varPatternI , parmReplaceStr)
if varPatternISearch != None:
varFoundCount = int(varPatternISearch.group('starting')) + parmFoundCount[0]
varReplaceString = re.sub(varPatternI ,str(varFoundCount ),parmReplaceStr)
elif re.search(varPatternIi, parmReplaceStr) != None:
varReplaceString = re.sub(varPatternIi,str(parmFoundCount[0]),parmReplaceStr)
parmFoundCount[0] = parmFoundCount[0] + 1
return varReplaceString
# Do a Python regular expression replace
editor.searchAnchor()
while editor.searchNext(0x00200000,expressionList[0]) != -1:
editor.replaceSel(incrementalReplace(expressionList[1],foundCount))
editor.lineDown()
editor.searchAnchor()
# End the undo action, so Ctrl-Z will undo the above two actions
editor.endUndoAction()
If your S&R supports Regex, use this.
Search term:
images/69thStreet([0-9]+).jpg
Replace term:
images/xyz$1.jpg
I just use Excel & Notepad++
Create a column of incrementing numbers in Excel. Then in the next (or previous) column, put in the line you wish to merge w/ the incrementing numbers. For instance:
file00 | 1 | .jpg
file00 | 2 | .jpg
Etc.
Then copy/paste the thing into Notepad++ (or use Excel's CONCATENATE function if the job is simple) and do a replacement.
It's time for you to learn scripting languages. Python/Ruby/Perl can do this in a few lines by using simple regular expressions and a directory listing.
notepad++ allows you to make multi line editing. But the main problem here is to get as quick as possible all the file names from the directory where they are.
In the past I had similar challenge that I solved this way.
This works almost on all win vers.
To make a list of all files in a directory create a bat file into the dir itself.
copy and paste there the following batch code
dir /b > filelist.txt
Save the file with name
makefilelist.bat
Not important the name you give it: the important thing is the file extension .bat
Double click on the bat file just saved: the batch script executes a clean dir command inside the directory in witch it is executed redirecting the output to the file filelist.txt
In less than one sec you have the output saved into the filelist.txt witch will be similar to the following:
filelist.txt
Image File Name 01.gif
Image File Name 02.gif
Image File Name 03.gif
Image File Name 04.gif
Image File Name 05.gif
Image File Name 06.gif
Image File Name 07.gif
Image File Name 08.gif
Image File Name 09.gif
Image File Name 10.gif
Image File Name 11.gif
Image File Name 12.gif
Image File Name 13.gif
Image File Name 14.gif
Image File Name 15.gif
Image File Name 16.gif
Image File Name 17.jpg
Image File Name 18.jpg
Image File Name 19.jpg
Image File Name 20.jpg
Image File Name 21.jpg
Image File Name 22.jpg
Image File Name 23.jpg
Image File Name 24.jpg
Image File Name 25.jpg
Image File Name 26.jpg
Image File Name 27.jpg
Image File Name 28.jpg
Image File Name 29.jpg
Image File Name 30.jpg
Image File Name 31.jpg
Image File Name 32.jpg

makelist.bat
Of course the names logged into the file list may vary... The script logs every file, no matters if it is in sequence or not or if its name is a random name or contains date time (time stamp) etc.: it logs everything is into the same dir in witch is executed...
Now you can open filelist.txt with notepad++: first delete the lines of the list that report the unwanted files:
makelist.bat
filelist.txt
This operation is necessary cause the script lists also itself and the filelist.txt.
Then with multi line editing tool add the tag around all lines at once, or everything else needed to built the photo gallery, even a javascript array, etc... in the end copy and paste the finished job to your image gallery file under coding.
Done. Easy as drinking a glass of water: it is more difficult to explain than to do! Granted. ;-)
Improvements:
It is possible to get a list of just the jpg files by modifying the batch command like the following:
dir *.jpg /b > filelist.txt
Image File Name 17.jpg
Image File Name 18.jpg
Image File Name 19.jpg
Image File Name 20.jpg
Image File Name 21.jpg
Image File Name 22.jpg
Image File Name 23.jpg
Image File Name 24.jpg
Image File Name 25.jpg
Image File Name 26.jpg
Image File Name 27.jpg
Image File Name 28.jpg
Image File Name 29.jpg
Image File Name 30.jpg
Image File Name 31.jpg
Image File Name 32.jpg
The same with other file extensions.
There is. Create your list of photos using a python script that looks at whatever directory you want, and renames or just lists all the file names. Then go from that to a python script that generates the HTML you need (should be very easy at this point). Then copy & paste that.
Python is very easy to use, you will be able to download it in 5 minutes & find a tutorial for reading / changing file names in another 10 minutes.

I have created a new screen where I'm uploading Amazon orders from a CSV file. The original CSV file downloaded needs to have the first few lines removed to have the column headings at the top.
Before
After
I have a data field on the screen called date/time, but when I upload the CSV the mapping finds some sort of hidden characters in the file so the mapping doesn't automatically map the field.
I have tried changing the encoding while uploading the file, as well as changing the display name to include the ??? and double quotes like the image below, but the field doesn't auto-map.
Is there someway to get the field to auto-map on the file upload so the user doesn't have to map the field manually?
Thanks,
Kurt Bauer
I am new to eggplant functional. Didn't find any reference to update a csv using eggplant functional.
Reference: http://docs.testplant.com/ePF/using/epf-accessing-data-cell-by-name.htm
You can read files in and out like so, and editing a CSV is the same as other text files.
To read a file into a variable:
put file "/etc/passwd" into passwordInfo
To write a variable to a file:
put "0,0,0,0" into file "/tmp/testing/counters"
What I would do is read in your CSV and copy to a new variable, then output it. There's pretty useful syntax for moving to a specific line in your file. For example, if you wanted to increment the second column of the first row of your file "counters", you could use:
add 1 to item 2 of line 1 of file "/tmp/testing/counters"
All of this and more is in "File and Folder Interaction" provided on the Eggplant website.
I want to know if it is possible to export each row from ODS file to .csv files.
For example :
column1 column2
row1 name info for the row1
row2 name info for the row2 ... and so on.
I want the exported filename to be the names from column1 and the content to be the info from column2.
Is that possible ?
To get Calc to save as .csv, each set of information needs to be on a separate sheet, not just in separate rows. I do not think it would be convenient to do this, and in any case, that will not automatically save with the correct file names.
However what you are asking can be done by creating a Python or Java macro, or perhaps JavaScript. The macro would need to read each row, and then open a file for writing with the name from column 1.
It is possible with Basic as well, but file handling in Basic is awkward.
For a good macro reference, see Andrew Pitonyak's macro document.
Prepare sheet with 2 columns:
file name
content of the file
Concatenate string "echo>" with file name in the first column
Save this sheet in .CSV format, bat with .BAT extension. In Windows it makes executable file.
Execute this batch file in terminal (command line interface). You should first change to proper directory.
DONE
Is is possible to find a specific string in all files and just display the string instead of line in which search result. I have got a huge project with some css tag starting with a string. Would like to find number of css tags starting with those pattern string. Help would be appreciated. Thank you.
There is an example
File One
This is a sample <div class="myapp-bold">Text</div>
File Two
This is a sample <div class="myapp-small myapp-bold">Text</div>
In results, I would like to see
File One
myapp-bold
....
File Two
myapp-small myapp-bold
You can search!!
1)Drag and drop your project folder to sublime.
2) Press ctrl+shift+ F
3) enter the search value in Find:
4) click on Where: and add the complete folder where you want to search
I have a module named flume and file names that include that module name, like flumeIndexController, flumePlugin etc. Now I've decided to rename the module to oozie so I want to have these files renamed to include new module's name like oozieIndexController, ooziePlugin.
How can I get a list of files than include the flume string (in file name) possibly using built-in search or through any other option?
Navigate | File... Ctrl + Shift + N using Default keymap.
You can narrow your search results (just specify parts of the path, e.g. /abc/ and it will show results in a folders that match such pattern/abbreviation). Alternatively -- just do a post-filtering by excluding unwanted results (see below).
This window has only 2 buttons -- one of which will display results in a more traditional and permanent "Search results" tool window (the one that you see when you do Find in Path and alike).
