[Old Thread] Extract ISBN from file name

[biodu]

Dear gebhard,

thanks so so much. The renamer works again .

I observed one little difference to the former version: special characters are not supported any more. E.g. ISBN 3131416912 contains the word "Notfälle" which would be returned with the new renamer as "Notflle".

Thanks again

Hi biodu

thanks 4 ur info.

now its fixed. ;-)
IsbnwithPDFdecrypt.zip

i'm not an "autoit" scripter... as vne,vxe is.
so i checked: i tried to make it UTF8 like.. (it only depends how to open and reading "result" files).. Hope it will work 4 u.

there is also a new ini-Key:
; Ask4PWD=0: will not ask for pwd if pdf is decrpyted
Ask4PWD=1

--> it tries to decrpyt a pdf first... -> it will prompt for a "password" in a loop until it is valid...
(if u leave the default pwd once -> u could choose a File with passwords in it, and it will parse all pwds (single password in one line...)
For decryption u need: "\pdf\pdfdecrypt.exe" and "\pdf\license.dat"
have a look at the archive...

Also: in Debug mode u get more info now..

a nice feature: if u want the book description from amazon use the Key: BookDescription=1
--> writes the <content> to a file same as the destination file...
; Add Book Description as same Filename Ext .txt
; 0 : Will not write any description file
; 1 : Will try to write description file
BookDescription=1

all credits to vne...
long live VNV Nation VNVrum

Thanks gebhard - now the special characters are provided!

Wonderful work! Thanks very much gebhard.


However, with the latest version I've encountered an error that prevents the program from functioning. (The previous version still works correctly.)

When [ISBN] DetectMode=1 & Ask4PWD=0, I receive the following message: (The file is not protected.)

Processing file <ISBN>.pdf
---> Detecting ISBN from filename <ISBN>.pdf
---> Detecting ASIN from filename <ISBN>.pdf
---> Detecting ISBN from content <ISBN>.pdf
---> Error code 1 occured when trying to extract file content
---> Unable to extract file content (protected ebook?)

When [ISBN] DetectMode=0 & Ask4PWD=0, I receive the following message:

Processing file <ISBN>.pdf
---> Detecting ISBN from filename <ISBN>.pdf
---> Detecting ASIN from filename <ISBN>.pdf

When [ISBN] DetectMode=0 & Ask4PWD=1, I receive the following message: (The ISBN for the file is correct.)

Processing file <ISBN>.pdf
---> Detecting ISBN from filename <ISBN>.pdf
---> Can't find any ISBN information.

When [ISBN] DetectMode=1 & Ask4PWD=1, I receive the same message as when [ISBN] DetectMode=1 & Ask4PWD=0.


While I'm delighted with the previous version, the additional features to the newest iteration are very nice & I'd gratefully avail myself of them. If you would like me to provide more messages from the log or more of the settings in my ini, please let me know.

Thanks again!

is that possible if the application add ".epub" and/or ".mobi" files also?

mico, simply add ".epub.mobi" to the end of the "Extension=.pdf" line in your ISBN.ini file. It should then appear as follows:

Extension=.pdf.epub.mobi

Keep in mind that the ISBN must be included in the filename as I don't believe epub or mobi files can have an ISBN extracted from the file content itself.

This seems like a great utility. Kudos to gebhard for helping the community out.

Since this is the calibre forum I'd like to remind folks that there is an Extract ISBN plugin that will extract the ISBN from books in your calibre library. Additionally you can set the regex in the adding books preference area to extract the ISBN from filenames on import.

I have added that. it runs if we have the isbn number in the namefile.
But is that any way if we want to scan isbn in the file?

Hello micokonsep,

you could try Mr Agapow's python script, which can be found here.

However it might require some adjustments in the script ...

To rename epubs in a directory you could create a batch file (for Windows only). Create a file with notepad and name it <whatsoever>.bat. Then insert the following:

@echo off
for /f %%i in ('dir /b .\*.epub') DO python epubmetareader.py rename %%i

Ensure that the epub renamer file (epubmetareader.py) is also in the directory.

Greetings
