Template: Incrementing a padded number by one

ownedbycats · 03-09-2021, 06:22 PM

Using a template in Action Chain's "single field edit", how would I go about making this sort of change?

OEBPS/file0011.xhtml#kobo.194.1 ==> OEBPS/file0012.xhtml#kobo.1.1

OEBPS/file0999.xhtml#kobo.123.456 ==> OEBPS/file1000.xhtml#kobo.1.1

(I can strip off the #kobo.1.1 if it makes things simpler.)

Context for what I'm trying to do.

Code:

program:
	input = 'OEBPS/file0011.xhtml#kobo.194.1';
	a = re(input, '^OEBPS/file(\d{4})(\.xhtml.*$)', '\1');
 	strcat('OEBPS/file', format_number(add(a, 1), '04d'), '.xhtml#kobo.1.1')

Hmm, putting that in the template tester results in file0012 for everything.

EDIT: I remembered what to do after checking the reference again. i changed it to input = field('#kobobookmark') and that works.

Thank you!
