Hi Taurojo,

maybe this could be a starting point:

you can try it with PopulateVariables-Node and a RegEx-Function:

Code: Select all

([a-zA-Z\d]*)

In the PopulateVariables-Node create a new UserVariable, e.g. SaveWithoutSpecialCchar

Set the new UserVariable to RegEx-Function

Code: Select all

$regext("%s_original_name%","([a-zA-Z\d]*)")

This should extract a to z / A to Z AND Digits 0 to 9 from the filename.

In the DeliveryNode you drop originalName and set SaveWithoutSpecialCchar as prefix.

just my 2cent...

regards
Thomas

@ThomasM yeeey, regex! lovely

using a populate vars processor, you can either use what thomasm said or use the inbuilt function alrep https://www.ffastrans.com/wiki/doku.php ... _and_alrep

Hi,

In the end it is not what I needed to be able to rename and have the output be a name suitable for web servers.

For now I am using this function... somewhat long .
If you have any better ideas

Code: Select all

$lower($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace($replace("%s_original_name%", "ā","a"), "ţ","t"), "ş","s"), "ḑ","d"), "ḑ","d"), "ầ","a"), "ằ","a"), "ắ","a"), "ư","u"), "ẵ","a"), "ạ","a"), "ơ","o"), "ề","e"), "ồ","o"), "ộ","o"), "ỉ","i"), "ệ","e"), "ậ","a"), "ị","i"), "ả","a"), "ế","e"), "ừ","u"), "‘","_"), "’","_") , "ʼ","_"), "ḩ","h"), " ","_"), "ḩ" ,"h"), "á","a"), "à","a"), "è","e"), "é","e"), "í","i"), "ó","o"), "ú","u"), "ñ","ny"), "à","a"), "è","e"), "ì","i"), "ò","o"), "ù","u"), "ä","a"), "ë","e"), "ï","i"), "ö","o"), "ü","u"), "â","a"), "ê","e"), "î","i"), "ô","o"), "û","u"))

No its good, i like it. Thats more or less excatly what i do in lots of different programs where the customer wants me to replace special chars to some non special char that looks compareable. Unfortunately i am not aware of any ready to use functions for it. The reason might be that the expectation might be different for many parties, e.g. Germans want to translate "ü" to "ue" because ue is officially an alternate writing style for "ü". Others would not care and just translate "ü" to "u" because it looks similar hehe

Let me know if you need to alter this list frequently, in this case i can come up with a special processor for you that eases your life. I imagine it needs a little time to get all the parantheses correctly hehe

Also in 1.2, the populate processor allows you to have as many lines as you wish, this can also bring a better overview to you.

I like it:
