Utility Request - Or Maybe One Exists Already

[Legacy_Pstemarie]

                I'm no programmer, so I'm posting this here in the hopes that someone will offer to code it...

What I need is a tool that takes a file as input, creates multiple copies, and outputs the copies with new filenames based on parameters that are entered.

This is what I'm trying to do - I have created three new robes for NWN. The filenames all start with pma0, pmd0, pme0, etc. - plus an additional group of female versions. I need to create copies for the other phenotypes (3, 6, 15-21, 30-33, 46).

For example:

1. I input the filename pma0_robe203

2. I key in the parameters (pma3, pma6, pma15, pma16, pma17, etc.)

3. The program outputs the new renamed files.

               On a really, really simple level, as a windows batch file something like this would work:

@set /p orig= Original Pheno:
@set /p new= New Pheno:

copy pma%orig%*.mdl pfh%new%*
copy pmd%orig%*.mdl pfh%new%*
copy pme%orig%*.mdl pfh%new%*
copy pmg%orig%*.mdl pfh%new%*
copy pmh%orig%*.mdl pfh%new%*
copy pmo%orig%*.mdl pfh%new%*

copy pfa%orig%*.mdl pfh%new%*
copy pfd%orig%*.mdl pfh%new%*
copy pfe%orig%*.mdl pfh%new%*
copy pfg%orig%*.mdl pfh%new%*
copy pfh%orig%*.mdl pfh%new%*
copy pfo%orig%*.mdl pfh%new%*

Seemed to work in my testing anyways.  I haven't actually scripted outside nwscript in more than a decade, so I'm quite rusty.
  You'd also need to move the specific files into their own folder, since it's non-descriminant on what parts and part numbers would be copied.  A couple more set variables could fix that though.

               Thanks, I modified it a bit so that I didn't have to key in the origin and new pheno every time. Now if I could just figure out why when you go from a single digit pheno to a double-digit pheno it chops the "r" off "robe" in the filename. I think its truncating the filenames so the new filename is the same length as the original filename.

copy pma0_*.mdl pma15_*
copy pmd0_*.mdl pmd15_*
copy pme0_*.mdl pme15_*
copy pmg0_*.mdl pmg15_*
copy pmh0_*.mdl pmh15_*
copy pmo0_*.mdl pmo15_*

copy pfa0_*.mdl pfa15_*
copy pfd0_*.mdl pfd15_*
copy pfe0_*.mdl pfe15_*
copy pfg0_*.mdl pfg15_*
copy pfh0_*.mdl pfh15_*
copy pfo0_*.mdl pfo15_*

This is just the block that handles one pheno. The full code has blocks for all the Q phenos

               I think I used a utility called Fileboss to do this Pstmarie. Or Useful file utilities. Pretty sure both of them allow you to rename file and perform a text search and replace the filename inside the file with the new filename.


Useful file utilities lets you mask chars...

[N1-3]43[N5-]





So what that does is mask chars 1-3, and replace 4, then as I replaced it with a two digit number (0 replaced with 43), it's from char 5 to however many chars are left.    It's more or less a RegEx editor.

Generally what I do is make a base copy of my original files in one directory... then rename the files with the renamer, and then do a batch replace (I'll attach the RTBL file as link) Batch file for replacing robe phenos
