Re: Use scanner to Rename File and Directory using single character of mask

[Casey Redis <caseyml bassrocks org>]

Hi Oliver,

I was thinking something along the same lines after my original post.

For now, I spent about an hour on this yesterday and made some progress with the basic implementation (I opted for %A for a quick test and got it working). 

Unfortunately, it's been almost 20 years since I did any C/C++ programming and never done anything with GTK so between trying to recall the sketchy-at-best knowledge I had back then and wrapping my head around the GTK piece, it will likely take longer than I originally thought when I first looked at the code.

Hi Casey,

I like your plan!
Please consider "/%.1a/" (instead of "/%a1/") to cut the first
character. This is the common solution in printf(), snprintf() ect.
May be easier to implement and to use (at least for C-Coders ;-)

With regards!

#include <stdio.h>
void main(void) {
  printf("--%5s--\n", "Abc");
  printf("--%-5s--\n", "Abc");
  printf("--%.1s--\n", "Abc");	// <-- cut first character
  printf("--%.2s--\n", "Abc");
}
// ... prints:
--  Abc--
--Abc  --
--A--
--Ab--

I envision something like "/%a1/%a/%b/%t" where the "1" in "%a1" would
specify how many characters to output.
