❔ Unique Integer ID GEN from string input
and idk, maybe an additional check in the loop if there are any correct characters left? There's a possibility that someone will for some reason name a file "Abc######" so the loop would continue for 6 more times for no reason, but idk if it makes too much of a difference

It skips the incorrect characters (-), adds the first 6 to the ID, if 6 are already added then it skips through all the other correct chars until there are only 7 left

How about this one? Now there are no queues, only the initial char array

-1 would be placed during the first loop with the switch in places of characters which aren't A-Z/a-z/0-9 alongside with an incrementing length variable for the ones which are

What would you recommend as an alternative? Would an array, where -1 is to be skipped, be a better alternative?

Should probably work fine as long as nobody uses names such as "hhhhhhhhhh" and "hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" which will then probably generate the same ID

❔ Unique Integer ID GEN from string input
13 characters is quite a lot to work with already. I can divide it in 'half' => 6 and 7 characters Take 6 characters from the beginning of the input And 7 characters from the end of the input Unless the input length is < 13, then I just take every character. That would probably work out fine enough?

Now there's a 13 character limit... Any progress is good.
