[Closed] PLEASE HELP! Get maxFileName first 5 digits or letters

(
	max select all

-- 	sel = selection as array
	fileName = getFilenameFile maxFileName
	folder = @"E:\su_files\FBX EXPORT\" --your path
	ext=".fbx" --your extension
	exportFile (folder+fileName+ext) #noPrompt selectedonly: true
)

What do you mean by “but i only want the first 5 digits of the file name”? Can you give an example of “file name”?

wow thanks a lot for replying so quick sorry agian to pm you

its
saving it like
01_0092_00_Thumbnail_Zelcova Serrata ‘Green Vase’_100_0007.fbx

but i want

01_0092_00.fbx

so its the first 10 digits my bad

(
	max select all

-- 	sel = selection as array
	fileName = substring (getFilenameFile maxFileName) 1 10
	folder = @"E:\su_files\FBX EXPORT\" --your path
	ext=".fbx" --your extension
	exportFile (folder+fileName+ext) #noPrompt selectedonly: true
)

If you need the first 5 characters of the file name use this:
fileName = substring (getFilenameFile maxFileName) 1 5

OMG you are a legend

can you pm me your paypal address
I can give you a little something for the help when this project is done next week

also i know i am asking a lot but how can i get it to save into its own folder with the 10 digit file name?

yes same as the name of the file(10 digits name)

Try this:

(
	max select all

	fileName = substring (getFilenameFile maxFileName) 1 10
	fullFolderPath = @"E:\su_files\FBX EXPORT\" + fileName + "\\"
	if doesFileExist fullFolderPath == false do
	(
		makeDir (@"E:\su_files\FBX EXPORT\" + fileName + "\\")
	)
	ext=".fbx"
	exportFile (fullFolderPath+fileName+ext) #noPrompt selectedonly:true
)

OMG perfect thanks
