Prior to posting my question, I have searched the documentation and forums but couldn't find an answer to my question about incrementing month names, i.e.
I would like to add an incrementing month at the end of the file name: National.Geographic.2016.01.pdf National.Geographic.2016.02.pdf National.Geographic.2016.03.pdf to National.Geographic.2016.01.January.pdf National.Geographic.2016.02.February.pdf National.Geographic.2016.03.March.pdf and so on... something like National.Geographic.2016.<Inc Nr:1> to National.Geographic.2016.<Inc Nr:1>.<what do I insert here???> Thank you for your help! sm |

In case someone is looking for a partial solution... I have set up a "monthname.csv" with the names of 12 months and imported it National.Geographic.2016.<Inc Nr:1>.<Csv:1> However, every time I add a new batch of files National.Geographic.2017.<Inc Nr:1>.<Csv:1> or National.Geographic.2018.<Inc Nr:1>.<Csv:1> or some filename.<Csv:1>.<Year:X>, etc or any other set of files that I would like to add incrementally increasing month names I have to import the CSV again and again... Please help! sm |

Easiest solution is to generate filenames with numerical dates only, as you suggest:
National.Geographic.2016.01.pdf National.Geographic.2016.02.pdf etc Then use a List replace method with 12 entries as a look-up table to add the names of the months... List replace.... Replace (01$) with \1.January Replace (02$) with \1.February ... Replace (12$) with \1.December Check "Use regular expressions" |
