Question

How to extract a file name from a path, replace whitespaces, and make it lowercase using RegEx in Node.js

Answer 1

function normalizeFilename(filePath) {
  // Extract only the file name
  let filename = filePath.replace(/^.*[\\\/]([^\\\/]*)$/i, "$1");

  // Replace whitespaces with underscores
  filename = filename.replace(/\s/g, "_");

  // Convert to lowercase
  filename = filename.toLowerCase();

  return filename;
}

// Example usage in Node.js
const filePath = "c:\\path\\to\\the\\file\\WITH Whitespace1 and Whitespace2.js";
const result = normalizeFilename(filePath);

console.log(result);


  
  
/*
run:
  
with_whitespace1_and_whitespace2.js

*/
