RoboTask forum

Hi,
I'd like to create a task that can recognize which part of a file name it needs to copy. Files (they're pfds btw, but I guess it doesn't matter) are always formatted as:
author - year - title.pdf
of which I'd like to copy only the "title" part. What would be the easiest way of doing this?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

You may use "delemit variable" action.

Suppose you get the file name in the file loop
C:\myfiles\John Smith - 1995 - My book.pdf

In order to extract filename only use variable {ExtractFileNameNoExt()}.
You will get the string "John Smith - 1995 - My book"

Next, use delemit variable and you get standartd comma-separated string: "John Smith","1995","My book"
If you store the result into variable MyVar (for example) you can get any part by number, like this:
MyVar(0) = John Smith
MyVar(1) = 1995
MyVar(2) = My book

Thanks!
It works brilliant now!
Great software!
