Replace part of string help

Dr Adam Cliffe
11 posts
Hi,

I'm trying to remove part of a file name.
Current file name is : "Job(Seq.Scan) 2 02_024_z0_ch01.tif"
I'd like to remove the (Seq.Scan) part.

using the following macro I end up with: Job() 2 02_024_z0_ch01.tif

name = "Job(Seq.Scan) 2 02_024_z0_ch01.tif";
string=replace(name,"(Seq.Scan)","");
print(name);

Can anyone help getting rid of the brackets please?

thanks

Adam

Hi Adam,

very manual but it works:

name = "Job(Seq.Scan) 2 02_024_z0_ch01.tif";

string1= substring(name, 0,3);
string2= substring(name, 13,34);

print(string1+string2);

For sure there's a more elegant solution

cheers,
J

replace() takes a regular expression so parentheses are special. Try
"\\(Seq.Scan\\)" instead.

Maybe print(string)?

Hi Adam,

From Julien code, I added in parts to determine the index positions.

name = "Job(Seq.Scan) 2 02_024_z0_ch01.tif";
unwanted_part="(Seq.Scan)";
len1=lengthOf(name);
len2=lengthOf(unwanted_part);
len3=indexOf(name,unwanted_part);
string1=substring(name, len2+len3,len1);
string2=substring(name, 0,len3);
string=string2+string1;
print(string);

Best Regards,
John

Hello,
Sorry I don't mean to be ignorant and missing something obvious here,
but do you need to do this via a macro in ImageJ?
What about just using batch file rename software such as Metamorphose
2 on Windows (http://file-folder-ren.sourceforge.net/), or an
equivalent on the OS you run?
I've used Metamorphose or Linux shell scripts to batch rename and
process my images, it works great for me.

System.out.print(name.replace("(Seq.Scan)",""));

There is no reason to use regular expressions for something so simple. Also, you could make the replace function from scratch, but why bother when someone has already included that functionality into the String class?
