Streamstream (Can it be used to store seperate strings and then replace?)

By 3dwannab · 2015-05-20

Description

OldStringCorona =  "_Corona"
OldStringVRay =  "_Vray"
OldStringScanline =  "_Scanline"
NewString = ""

--fileName = getFilenameFile (maxFilename)

fileName = "sdd_Scanline"

if fileName != undefined and matchPattern fileName pattern:("*"+OldStringCorona+"*" OR "*"+OldStringVRay+"*" OR "*"+OldStringScanline+"*") ignoreCase:false == true then (
		Newfilename = if fileName != undefined and matchPattern fileName pattern:("*"+OldStringCorona+"*") ignoreCase:false == true then (fileNameTemp = replace fileName (findstring fileName OldStringCorona) OldStringCorona.count NewString)
		Newfilename = if fileName != undefined and matchPattern fileName pattern:("*"+OldStringVRay+"*") ignoreCase:false == true then (fileNameTemp = replace fileName (findstring fileName OldStringVRay) OldStringVRay.count NewString)
		Newfilename = if fileName != undefined and matchPattern fileName pattern:("*"+OldStringScanline+"*") ignoreCase:false == true then (fileNameTemp = replace fileName (findstring fileName OldStringScanline) OldStringScanline.count NewString)
	)
Newfilename

1. I want this script to get the filename. Code not working above but just to gice you an idea where I'm at.
2. Remove either '_VRay' '_Corona' '_Scanline' from this to ''.
3. I tried StringStream Values in my first version but didn't get success.

Can it be used in this instance?

Link for StringStream http://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/201…

My initial version was like:

TrimMe = stringstream "\"_VRay.max\\t_Corona.max\\t_Scanline.max\"" --notes \" Escape and \\t is the StringEscapes
seek TrimMe 0
readvalue TrimMe
max_file_name = getFilenameFile (trimright maxFilename TrimMe)

But this trimright yielded unsuccessful results.

Any help would be grateful. Thanks.

Regexpression Example

3dwannab · 2015-05-25

These 4 line of code do the exact same only better as long as you learn regular expressions:


OldString =@"(?i)_Corona$|_Vray$|_Scanline$"
OldMaxFileName = getFilenameFile (maxFilename)
rgx = dotnetObject "System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex" OldString
NewMaxFileName = rgx.Replace OldMaxFileName ""

(?i)

turns on case insensitive

_Corona$

Matches a string with _Corona at the end

separates each match

Small bug in last code

NEW:

OldStringCorona =  "_Corona"
OldStringVRay =  "_Vray"
OldStringScanline =  "_Scanline"
NewString = ""

max_file_name = "test_Corona" --getFilenameFile (maxFilename)

try(
	case of
	(
		(matchPattern max_file_name pattern:("*"+OldStringCorona) ignoreCase:true): (fileNameNew = replace max_file_name (findstring max_file_name OldStringCorona) OldStringCorona.count NewString)
		(matchPattern max_file_name pattern:("*"+OldStringVRay) ignoreCase:true): (fileNameNew = replace max_file_name (findstring max_file_name OldStringVRay) OldStringVRay.count NewString)
		(matchPattern max_file_name pattern:("*"+OldStringScanline) ignoreCase:true): (fileNameNew = replace max_file_name (findstring max_file_name OldStringScanline) OldStringScanline.count NewString)
		(matchPattern max_file_name pattern:("*") ignoreCase:true): (fileNameNew = max_file_name)
	)
)catch()
print fileNameNew

Added:

(matchPattern max_file_name pattern:("*") ignoreCase:true): (fileNameNew = max_file_name)

at the last case of to ensure matching strings where none of the first matchpatterns didn't exist.

using case of will solve this ....


case yourCase of
(
OldStringCorona   : (do something)
OldStringVRay     : (do something)
OldStringScanline : (do something)
)

I think that will give you an idea to do that, making it function will be good too.

Sorry For The Late Replay. Been busy elsewhere:

Here's the code now with some of the other code (The script rename objects to filename and based on object type) . Maybe the case of could do with a clean up, any suggestions?

Thanks very muchio :)

-- PREFIXES: use these or a spectator of your choice (do not leave blank)
cameraPreFix = "_Cam_" as string
lightPreFix = "_Light_" as string
geoPreFix = "_Geo" as string

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OldStringCorona =  "_Corona"
OldStringVRay =  "_Vray"
OldStringScanline =  "_Scanline"
NewString = ""

max_file_name = getFilenameFile (maxFilename)

try(
	case ReplacePrefix of
	(
		(matchPattern max_file_name pattern:("*"+OldStringCorona+"*") ignoreCase:false): (fileNameNew = replace max_file_name (findstring max_file_name OldStringCorona) OldStringCorona.count NewString)
		(matchPattern max_file_name pattern:("*"+OldStringVRay+"*") ignoreCase:true): (fileNameNew = replace max_file_name (findstring max_file_name OldStringVRay) OldStringVRay.count NewString)
		(matchPattern max_file_name pattern:("*"+OldStringScanline+"*") ignoreCase:true): (fileNameNew = replace max_file_name (findstring max_file_name OldStringScanline) OldStringScanline.count NewString)
	)
)catch()

if fileNameNew == undefined then fileNameNew = max_file_name

if max_file_name == "" then(
		max_file_name = getSaveFileName getSaveFileName()
		if max_file_name == undefined then messagebox "Output File Not Set !\n\nSave file first !"
	)
	else(
		--clearsel
		clearselection()

		--geometry
		for obj in geometry do obj.name = fileNameNew + geoPreFix
