How do I match information from anywhere in the file path?

[hama4reall]

can we match from {f} like i want to match 'Badini' in this path using

Code: Select all

{f.match(/Badini/)}

Code: Select all

E:\files\CDN1\paxshkrdn2\Badini\A.Night.Of.Horror.Volume.1.2015.1080P.mp4

i tried it and it doesn't work apparently its because {f} isn't a string and match() only works on strings? if that so what can i do to match "Badini" in the file path and the filename itself?

e.g. match /Badini/ from the file path:

Format: Select all

{ f.path.match(/Badini/) }

e.g. use the parent folder name:

Format: Select all

{ folder.name }

thanks! didn't know about that string. is there a page reference for all the strings? like https://www.filebot.net/naming.html but this page doesn't have em all.

{folder} is on the list. File::getName is Java API. There is no "all the strings" because you are writing code. Please read the FileBot Groovy Expression Reference Documentation for details.


The built-in Bindings viewer will give you a list of commonly used snippets though, including folder.name and friends, so I recommend slowly scrolling through the list for inspiration:
