We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.8.1 of BardecodeFiler – an application that splits and renames images according to barcode values.

New in this release…

Reformat your barcode values

It’s now possible to extract parts of barcode values or to re-arrange the value of a barcode using regular expression pattern matching.

For example, say your barcodes have the format ABC1234-DEF/567 but you want to create a file named 567XYZ1234, then you can use the regex matching pattern:

\D+(\d+)-\D+/(\d+)

And set the format to:

{2}XYZ{1}

The {1} part of the format string represents the first pattern surrounded by () in the regex matching pattern and {2} is the second one etc.

The first line in this options screen can then be used as %VAL1 in the file template and the second line as %VAL2 etc.

Custom Log

You can now create a custom log file in the output folder through the Custom Log tab in options…

Note that the log file is truncated each time BardecodeFiler is called.

Other improvements:

• The set of characters accepted in barcode values can be configured from the Char-Set tab in Options.
• Improved support for Adobe PDF.
• Smaller PDF output files when converting from black and white TIF.
• Improved recognition of datamatrix and code 128 barcodes.
