Hi :),
How can I set filemodifydate from filename that has different symbols with different length? I will give some filename examples:
"2018-11-06___Изоставеният град.docx"
"2019-01-25___Изпитът.docx"
What I tried:
PS D:\Documents\Personal\Dreams> exiftool -d "%Y-%m-%d" "-filemodifydate<filename" "2017-07-22___Сънищата-с-Кучетата.docx"
Warning: garbage at end of string in strptime: ___Сънищата-с-Кучетата.docx in File:FileModifyDate (PrintConvInv) - 2017-07-22___Сънищата-с-Кучетата.docx
Warning: No writable tags set from 2017-07-22___Сънищата-с-Кучетата.docx

1 image files unchanged
I tried also exiftool -d "%Y-%m-%d___Сънищата-с-Кучетата.docx" "-filemodifydate<filename" "2017-07-22___Сънищата-с-Кучетата.docx" and it works, but I need batch command.
Thanks!
The problem is that there aren't enough digits. The FileModifyDate needs date and time data. Additionally, the -d isn't needed.
Try something like
exiftool "-filemodifydate<$filename 00:00:00" /path/to/files/
Thank you, but It did not work out :'(
PS D:\Documents\Personal\Dreams> exiftool "-filemodifydate<$filename 00:00:00" "2017-07-22___Сънищата-с-Кучетата.docx"

EDIT:
I found a command that worked :D
exiftool '-filemodifydate<${filename;/(\d{4}\D?\d{2}\D?\d{2})/;$_=$1} 00:00:00' "*"
(I get it from there: https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=10473.msg55290#msg55290)
That would have been my next suggestion :)
But it's strange that my command didn't work for you. I changed a file to have the same name as yours and ran my command and it worked for me. I did have to run it on the directory and not the file name because I couldn't get either Powershell or CMD to display Cyrillic characters.
I tried your command with CMD and it worked.. after that I tried it again with PowerShell and it did not work out. That's strange...

I believe that PowerShell works more like Linux bash/Mac Terminal with regards to quotes. If you change the double quotes to single quotes, I think it would work.
What code page are you using? Type chcp to see what it is.

My code page is 65001.

Thank you very much! I didn't know that. With single quotes, it works ;D

Heh, this is the reason I get so annoyed with Windows. I also set my code page to 65001 and I still couldn't get Cyrillic characters to display properly.
As well as setting a code page that supports the characters, the font you are using must also support these characters.

Yeah, I've tried both Lucida Console and Courier New, both support Cyrillic when I use them in other programs. I just can't seem to get it to work in PS or the new Windows Terminal. They display correctly in CMD, though.
My system is weird :P
