strip-filename-increment

Operating systems commonly add a trailing increment, or the word 'copy', or something similar to duplicate files. This strips those increments. Tested on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

Install
Install with npm (requires Node.js >=8):
$ npm install --save strip-filename-increment
Usage
const strip = require('strip-filename-increment');
API
strip
Remove trailing increments from the dirname
and/or stem
(basename
without extension) of the given file path or object.
Params
file
{Sring|Object}: If the file is an object, it must have apath
property.options
{Object}: See available options.returns
{String|Object}: Returns the same type that was given.
.increment
Removes trailing increments from the given string.
Params
input
{String}options
{Object}: See available options.returns
{String}
Example
console.log(strip.increment('foo (2)')); => 'foo'
console.log(strip.increment('foo (copy)')); => 'foo'
console.log(strip.increment('foo copy 2')); => 'foo'
.dirname
Removes trailing increments and returns the dirname
of the given filepath
.
Params
filepath
{String}options
{Object}: See available options.returns
{String}: Returns thedirname
of the filepath, without increments.
Example
console.log(strip.dirname('foo (2)/bar.txt')); => 'foo'
console.log(strip.dirname('foo (copy)/bar.txt')); => 'foo'
console.log(strip.dirname('foo copy 2/bar.txt')); => 'foo'
.stem
Removes trailing increments and returns the stem
of the given filepath
.
Params
filepath
{String}options
{Object}: See available options.returns
{String}: Returns thestem
of the filepath, without increments.
Example
console.log(strip.stem('foo/bar (2).txt')); //=> 'bar'
console.log(strip.stem('foo/bar (copy).txt')); //=> 'bar'
console.log(strip.stem('foo/bar copy 2.txt')); //=> 'bar'
console.log(strip.stem('foo/bar (2) copy.txt')); //=> 'bar'
console.log(strip.stem('foo/bar (2) - copy.txt')); //=> 'bar'
.basename
Removes trailing increments and returns the basename
of the given filepath
.
Params
filepath
{String}options
{Object}: See available options.returns
{String}: Returns thebasename
of the filepath, without increments.
Example
console.log(strip.basename('foo/bar (2).txt')); //=> 'bar.txt'
console.log(strip.basename('foo/bar (copy).txt')); //=> 'bar.txt'
console.log(strip.basename('foo/bar copy 2.txt')); //=> 'bar.txt'
console.log(strip.basename('foo/bar (2) copy.txt')); //=> 'bar.txt'
console.log(strip.basename('foo/bar (2) - copy.txt')); //=> 'bar.txt'
.path
Removes trailing increments from the dirname
and stem
of the given filepath
.
Params
filepath
{String}options
{Object}: See available options.returns
{String}: Returns thebasename
of the filepath, without increments.
Example
console.log(strip.path('foo copy/bar (2).txt')); //=> 'foo/bar.txt'
console.log(strip.path('foo (2)/bar (copy).txt')); //=> 'foo/bar.txt'
console.log(strip.path('foo (2)/bar copy 2.txt')); //=> 'foo/bar.txt'
console.log(strip.path('foo copy/bar (2) copy.txt')); //=> 'foo/bar.txt'
console.log(strip.path('foo copy/bar (2) - copy.txt')); //=> 'foo/bar.txt'
.file
Removes trailing increments from the dirname
and stem
properties of the given file
.
Params
filepath
{String}options
{Object}: See available options.returns
{String}: Returns thebasename
of the filepath, without increments.
Example
console.log(strip({ path: 'foo copy/bar (2).txt' }));
//=> { path: 'foo/bar.txt', dir: 'foo', base: 'bar.txt', name: 'bar', ext: '.txt' }
console.log(strip({ path: 'foo (2)/bar (copy).txt' }));
//=> { path: 'foo/bar.txt', dir: 'foo', base: 'bar.txt', name: 'bar', ext: '.txt' }
console.log(strip({ path: 'foo (2)/bar copy 2.txt' }));
//=> { path: 'foo/bar.txt', dir: 'foo', base: 'bar.txt', name: 'bar', ext: '.txt' }
console.log(strip({ path: 'foo copy/bar (2) copy.txt' }));
//=> { path: 'foo/bar.txt', dir: 'foo', base: 'bar.txt', name: 'bar', ext: '.txt' }
console.log(strip({ path: 'foo copy/bar (2) - copy.txt' }));
//=> { path: 'foo/bar.txt', dir: 'foo', base: 'bar.txt', name: 'bar', ext: '.txt' }
Options
removeRawNumbers
Remove "raw" trailing numbers that might not actually be increments. Use this with caution.
Type: boolean
Default: undefined
Example:
console.log(strip('foo 1')); //=> 'foo 1'
console.log(strip('foo 1', { removeRawNumbers: true })); //=> 'foo'
console.log(strip('foo (1) 1')); //=> 'foo (1) 1'
console.log(strip('foo (1) 1', { removeRawNumbers: true })); //=> 'foo'
// This following example is not touched either way,
// since it's definitely not an increment.
console.log(strip('foo [1]')); //=> 'foo [1]'
console.log(strip('foo [1]', { removeRawNumbers: true })); //=> 'foo [1]'
Examples
Windows path increments
All of the following would return foo
console.log(strip('foo (1)'));
console.log(strip('foo (2)'));
console.log(strip('foo (22)'));
All of the following would return foo.txt
console.log(strip('foo (1).txt'));
console.log(strip('foo (2).txt'));
console.log(strip('foo (22).txt'));
MacOS path increments
All of the following would return foo
console.log(strip('foo copy'));
console.log(strip('foo copy 1'));
console.log(strip('foo copy 2'));
console.log(strip('foo copy 21'));
console.log(strip('foo copy 219 copy 219'));
All of the following would return foo.txt
console.log(strip('foo copy.txt'));
console.log(strip('foo copy 1.txt'));
console.log(strip('foo copy 2.txt'));
console.log(strip('foo copy 21.txt'));
console.log(strip('foo copy 219 copy 219.txt'));
