MRT: TODAY Date and date refreshing
Hi Everybody,
Sorry for the stupid question but:
Can I use the today date (format YMD) in MRT? How?
In the paste I solve the problem with [=tc.accessdate.YMD] but I´m seeing that it doesn´t corresponds always with the Today date. What is it exactly?
I don´t know why but on my C: and D: disk [=tc.accessdate.YMD] works as Today date, on my external disk G: it spits out somwthing else...May be my Vista x64 is crazy... (I´m sure that the TC 7.02a is not crazy)
By the way the dream would be (supposing 20080403 the YMD Today date):
1st Case) Add a Today YMD in front a file/directory
(ex. "file1.xyz" ---> "20080403 file1.xyz")
2nd Case) Refresh an old Date
(ex. "20060504 file2.xyz" ---> "20080403 file2.xyz")
in just one step without to select the items with old date to refresh (with rename mask [=tc.accessdate.YMD][N9-]) and then the others (with rename mask [=tc.accessdate.YMD] [N]). Any idea? I´m imaging something like:
if ("file or directory" starts with 8 numbers [old date] followed by a space) then
replace the 8 numbers with the today date
else
just add the TODAY Date YMD format followed by a space and the file/directory name
endif
Thanks and sorry for my poor english.

It could be done with a custom plugin very easily, but unfortunately I'm not aware of any such plugin.
Maybe someone could write a short VB Script for the script plugin:

Great idea, thanks a lot for the hint. Here is the short script for this (quick and dirty, but tested in MRT):ghisler(Author) wrote:Maybe someone could write a short VB Script for the script plugin:

- added ParseDirs key to the info about script.ini to make it work with directories, too
- added sqa_wizard's improvement on extracting the date numbers

Wow, really quick !
... and a little bit dirty of course
It depends on the fixed date result notation DD.MM.YYYY
To be more flexible you may use :

Thanks Everybody!
But it doesn´t work on my PC!
I need one more time your help...
I installed the script plugin (it was automatic installed by TC) and put a Now.vbs in the script directory
This is my script.ini
and my Now.vbs
I use the 7.02a and Vista x64.
Do I need to install VB or have any VB.dll?

I follow the truth.
I don't think so. VBS files are normally interpreted byzuccadoc wrote:7.02a and Vista x64.

%SystemRoot%\system32\wscript.exe.
I even renamed this file, but the script still worked like before.
In the script-plugin documentation I found no different statement.
To make sure you have exactly the same copy of the script, below it is once again UUEncoded (Now.uue - decode with TC using File -> decode).
I hope this helps.
If not, maybe Vista x64 is a problem - I only have 32bit OS's (and no Vista) here for testing, with TC 7.02a, too...

Thanks StatusQuo,
sorry for my delayed post but it was an epic Weekend.
Finally I tried your script with Winxp 32 (with UUEncoded also) and I understood something more...
On both OS (Vista 64 and WinXP 32):
1) When I tried to rename a Directory it doesn´t work
2) With a file no problem.
No idea why...

Hi sqa_wizard:
Followiong:
-1 I select a X directory
-2 in MRT I try to rename X with mask [N]_dummy.
-3 It works and the result is X_dummy
-4 I rename the directorx X_dummy in X
-5 I select the X directory again
-6 in MRT I try to rename X with mask [N]_[=script.Result].
-7 <Error!> appears in the new name column
-8 if I delete the "[=script.Result]" part from the rename mask the <Error!> disappear.
with a file and not a directory It works with no problem.
Thanks
Z

It´s true but it isn´t the problem.You cannot rename any directory if there is something in use within this directory (or its subdirectories) !
Thanks

I can reproduce this, I get an error on dirs here, too, using Win2k. It is displayed in MRT before starting any renaming action.
As this also occurs with a script content as simple as "content=1" I think this is a problem in the plugin.
I posted this into the script plugin thread, hoping to get a solution...

Here the wincmd.ini [rename] part (copy/paste in the wincmd.ini file) with 3 Settings (in MRT push F2 or Menu F2 Load/Save Settings):
- Add Today: just add Today in YMD with a blank space and the name
- Ref Today: refreshing an old date with the today value
- Rem Date: Remove the date in front of the item.
Thanks to all!
