This script is a batch file designed to create a specified number of files with custom filenames based on user input. Here's a breakdown of what it does:
-
Setup:
@echo off: Prevents commands from being shown in the command prompt.setlocal enabledelayedexpansion: Enables the use of delayed variable expansion, allowing the script to modify and use variables within loops.
-
Getting User Input:
- The script prompts the user for several pieces of information:
- Number of files to create.
- Part 1 of the filename (static text).
- Part 2, which includes a static part and a placeholder for a sequential number (e.g., "S01E").
- Part 3 of the filename (static text).
- File extension (without the dot).
- The script prompts the user for several pieces of information:
-
Generating Filenames:
- The script constructs filenames in a loop based on the user inputs.
- It formats the sequential part with leading zeros (e.g., "01", "02", etc.).
- Each filename is constructed in the format:
Part1 + Part2 + FormattedSequentialNumber + Part3 + .fileExt.
-
Display Filenames:
- The script echoes the full paths of the files that would be created.
-
Confirmation:
- It prompts the user to confirm whether they want to create the files.
-
File Creation:
- If the user confirms (by entering "Y"), it creates empty files at the specified paths.
- If the user declines, it cancels the file creation process.
-
Exit:
- Finally, it waits for the user to press any key before exiting.
Example:
If the user inputs:
- Number of files: "3"
- Part 1: "This.Is.Part.1."
- Part 2: "S01E"
- Sequential Part Input: "the 'E' in 'S01E' as 'E'"
- Part 3: ".This.Is.Part-3"
- File extension: "txt"
The script would create the following files:
This.Is.Part.1.S01E01.This.Is.Part-3.txtThis.Is.Part.1.S01E02.This.Is.Part-3.txtThis.Is.Part.1.S01E03.This.Is.Part-3.txt
These files would be created in the directory where the script is located.
