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.

Removes trailing increments from the dirname
and stem

.
Params
filepath
{String}options
{Object}: See available options.returns
{String}: Returns the basename
of the filepath, without increments.
Example

console.log(strip.path('foo copy/bar (2) copy.txt'));
console.log(strip.path('foo copy/bar (2) - copy.txt'));
Removes trailing increments from the dirname
and stem
properties of the given file
.
Params
filepath
{String}options
{Object}: See available options.returns
{String}: Returns the basename
of the filepath, without increments.
Example
console.log(strip({ path: 'foo copy/bar (2).txt' }));
console.log(strip({ path: 'foo (2)/bar (copy).txt' }));
console.log(strip({ path: 'foo (2)/bar copy 2.txt' }));
console.log(strip({ path: 'foo copy/bar (2) copy.txt' }));
console.log(strip({ path: 'foo copy/bar (2) - copy.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'));
console.log(strip('foo 1', { removeRawNumbers: true }));
console.log(strip('foo (1) 1'));
console.log(strip('foo (1) 1', { removeRawNumbers: true }));
console.log(strip('foo [1]'));
console.log(strip('foo [1]', { removeRawNumbers: true }));
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'));
