(MEL)writing a renamer script.

im currently stuck on a supposedly straightforward section of my script. Im writing a script that is striping the Suffix of the naming. To do that im using tokenize to separate and store the strings after "_". But im stump on the why it doesnt print the result.

{
    string $userSel[]=`ls -sl -transforms`;
    string $buffer[];
    int $token;
    for ($node in $userSel){
        $token = `tokenize $node "_" $buffer`;
        print $buffer[$token];
    }

}

Thanks

Hi!

The result of the tokenize command is the number of tokens in which the string is split, so if you tokenize "hello_world" with the "_" character, the result will be 2.

So, in this case, buffer will only be populated in the position 0 and 1, so printing buffer[2] will return nothing.

Might this be your case?

Hi, Try This...

{
    string $userSel[]=`ls -sl -transforms`;
    string $buffer[];
    int $token;
    for ($node in $userSel){
        $token = `tokenize $node "_" $buffer`;
        print $buffer[($token-1)];
    }

}
