iteration for this "abc_{yyyyMMdd}_xyz

iteration for this "abc_{yyyyMMdd}_xyz_{HHmmss}" filename.

How use iteration for the this filename abc_{yyyyMMdd}_xyz_{HHmmss}.

Here I need to generate filename using the above format. The the above format may be in following ways.

abc_{yyyyMMdd}_xyz_{HHmmss}

abc_{yyMMdd_HHmmss}

abc_{yyMMdd_HHmmsstt}

abc_{yyyyMMdd}_xyz_{HHmmss}

abc_{yyyyMMdd_HHmmss}_xyz

abc_{yyyyMMdd_HHmmsstt}

So I need to iterate using while or forloop to pick values lies between curly braces.

Post solution for this post.

Thanks in Advance

The code I posted in one of your previous threads seems to be working OK for all those formats:

using System;

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

class Test

{

static void Main()

{

string[] fileTemplates =

{

"abc_{yyyyMMdd}_xyz_{HHmmss}",

"abc_{yyMMdd_HHmmss}",

"abc_{yyMMdd_HHmmsstt}",

"abc_{yyyyMMdd}_xyz_{HHmmss}",

"abc_{yyyyMMdd_HHmmss}_xyz",

"abc_{yyyyMMdd_HHmmsstt}"

};

foreach(string fileTemplate in fileTemplates)

{

string f = GetFileNameFromTemplate(fileTemplate);

Console.WriteLine(f);

}

Console.ReadKey();

}

static string GetFileNameFromTemplate(string fileTemplate)

{

DateTime now = DateTime.Now;

string r = @"\{(.*?)}";

string f = Regex.Replace(fileTemplate, r, m => now.ToString(m.Groups[1].Value));

if (!f.EndsWith(".txt")) f += ".txt";

return f;

}

}

The output when I just ran it (UK time) was:

abc_20140825_xyz_183604.txt

abc_140825_183604.txt

abc_140825_183604PM.txt

abc_20140825_xyz_183604.txt

abc_20140825_183604_xyz.txt

abc_20140825_183604PM.txt
