Can I use only a subset of a variable on ingest?
« on: April 27, 2008, 07:54:22 AM »
Hi there

I'm wondering if it's possible to use only a subset of a variable when injesting an image?  For example, my 5D files are named by default

_MG_1234.CR2

What I would like to do is rename them to the format

1234-xxx.cr2

where 1234 is the file number only (without the "_MG_" part), and "xxx" is the last 3 numbers of the serial number.  So {filename} and {serialnum} are good starting points, but I don't need the whole thing.  Is this possible?

Mike

Yes.  Try

{filename:4}-{serialnum:-4}
