Multi Rename Tool - Random Number Plugin?

[jzekeb]

Like the subject says, I would like to insert a random number. Is there a way to do this natively or via a plugin?

Something like [R8] would create an 8 digit random number.

Hi,

you can try my misc content plug-in. The field "Random" shows a 5 digits random number:

Excellent. Thank you!

That is indeed excellent. Would it be possible to increase the number of digits to say eight, or better, to a specified number?

BTW there is an built-in plugin field for random numbers: [=tc.random number]. But you should use some sort of regex to add zeroes to number.

The internal plugin generates random numbers of up to five digits. You can add leading zero's and make longer numbers. For example to make a 10 digit "random" number use:

Code: Select all

[=tc.random number:01-5][=tc.random number:01-5]

While in MRT press F1 to pop-up the help.
There you can read how to manipulate
the output of the variables by using: ':n-m'

For example, to get eight digits use

[=tc.Random number][=tc.Random number:1-3]
5 + 3 = 8


For one digit use
[=tc.Random number:1]

For two
[=tc.Random number:4-]
or
[=tc.Random number:1-2]


Add leading zeros
000[=tc.Random number]


.

000[=tc.Random number]

That gave me the idea for this:
[=tc.random number:1][=tc.random number:1][=tc.random number:1][=tc.random number:1][=tc.random number:1][=tc.random number:1][=tc.random number:1][=tc.random number:1][=tc.random number:1][=tc.random number:1]

Generates 10-digit random numbers. Surprisingly there are no "0"s among the numbers however.

I just figured out that the following includes zeros, including leading ones:

[=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2]

Generates 10-digit random numbers. Surprisingly there are no "0"s among the numbers however.

[=tc.random number] generates a number below 100.000 without leading zero's. The chance to hit zero is 1 out of 100.000.

[=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2][=tc.random number:2]

[=tc.random number:2] will not always give a result. Do the math.

Simply use:
[=tc.random number:01-5][=tc.random number:01-3]

Ahh, up to five digits. I see it now too. Thanks.
I though i get always 5 digits.

Just create a custom column containing [=tc.random number] and you will soon see a number with fewer digits.

Search your hard drive for "[=tc.random number] = 0" and you will find out [=tc.random number] sometimes generates a zero.
