macro rename files simple

[inesica]

Hello everybody. I would be very grateful if you could help me create a macro in image J:

- I open images in format (z000x_t000y, where y stays constant) that I want to save with a new name. I want to change the X value by adding or subtracting a certain value m (x+/-m). For example for z0005_t0000, z0006_t0000, z0007_t0000, if my m is -4, i would like to save the files as z0001_t0000, z0002_t0000, z0003_t0000 etc.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Inesica,

is this

//----------------------------------------------------
m = -4;
name = "z0007_t0000";
number  =  parseInt( substring( name, 1, 5 ) );
number +=m ;
//if ( number < 10 ) { name = "z000"; } else { name = "z00"; }
name = "z" + IJ.pad( number, 4 ) + "_t0000";
print( name );
//----------------------------------------------------

what you are looking for?

You've ask a very similar question before and of course the answer is
rather similar...

You may have a look at
<http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html>
for the available ImageJ-macro functions.

Best

Hello,
Thank you very much for your response.
However, I would like to do this for many files that are opened, not only for "z0007_t0000" as in your example and I would like to save them automatically with the new name.
How can I do that?
Thank you.

Inesica,

I assumed that you could do the batch processing yourself by using the
appropriate ImageJ-macro functions. The macro language is really easy!

This macro works for me:
//----------------------------------------------------
setBatchMode( true );
m = -4;
dirPath = getDirectory( "Choose a Directory" );
nameArray = getFileList( dirPath );
for ( i = 0; i < nameArray.length; i++ ) {
   number = parseInt( substring( nameArray[i], 1, 5 ) );
   number += m;
   name = "z" + IJ.pad( number, 4 ) + "_t0000.tif";
   status = File.rename( dirPath + nameArray[i], dirPath + name );
   if ( status == false ) { exit( "Could not rename" ); }
}
setBatchMode( false );
//----------------------------------------------------

Hope you are well-served

Herbie

Hello, thanks a lot!! However, I wanted to update the macro. Y is no longer constant and varies from 0 to 40 for ex. (t0000 to t0040). How could I add this to the macro and make the program work for the totality of t (from t0000 to t0040 for example)?
Thanks!

Hello, could you help me with another problem that I have renaming ImageJ
files? I try to adapt the macro you gave me earlier, but I seem to be
missing something. My files have these names: z0000_t0000, z0000_t0002,
z0000_t0004 etc (until z0032_t0080) and I would like to rename z0000_t0002
to z0000_t0001; z0000_t0004 to z0000_t0002 etc; which basically means divide
the number at the end by 2. So I adapted your function to:

setBatchMode( true );
*m = /2; *
dirPath = getDirectory( "Choose a Directory" );
nameArray = getFileList( dirPath );
for ( i = 0; i < nameArray.length; i++ ) {
   number = parseInt( substring( nameArray[i], 7, 11 ) );
   number += m;
   name = substring(nameArray[i], 0, 6) + "t" + IJ.pad( number, 4 ) +
".tif";
   status = File.rename( dirPath + nameArray[i], dirPath + name );
   if ( status == false ) { exit( "Could not rename" ); }
}
setBatchMode( false );


but it does not seem to work. How can I change it to make it work?

Thank you very much in advance.

Good day!

Replace line "number += m;" by "number /= 2;" (of course without the
inverted commas) and please try to learn macro coding which is really easy:

Dear Inesica,
Probably one of the most important rule when you are debugging a code, is to use and highly abuse with outputs (in the macro language outputs are done with the instruction print) where you compare these output with what you were actually expecting.
And remember: "practice makes perfect"!!!
My best regards,
Philippe
