Hi
Can you help me please. I have version 2.53.

I Want To Hold Hand # The Beatles
I need to have each of the 20,000 file renamed (reversed) as below.

Many Thanks in advance

Re: Reverse file name
Hi urgriu

use the renamer plugin:
- New name: $(OriginalName)
Search for: (.*)\s*#\s*([^#]+)
Replace with: $2 # $1

Re: Reverse file name
Has every file exactly one # character inside? ( "aaa" vs "aaa # bbb" vs "aaa # bbb # ccc")
Is the # character always surrounded by spaces? ("aaa#bbb" vs "aaa # bbb" vs "aaa# bbb")
What about some file extension, is it always same? ("aaa" vs "aaa.mp3" vs "aaa.wav")

Re: Reverse file name
Thank you for the reply.
Yes every file has one # space inside!
Yes the # character is always surrounded by spaces!
The file extensions can be different! Examples wav or mp3 or cd+g or xvid...etc
Many Thanks

Sorry, but you don't expect to get help in finding the answer, you don't want to find the answer but to be presented the answer on a silver platter.urgriu wrote: Its exactly the answer I did now want.

Since no one here knows all the details of your music store, all we could give you is guesswork which probably would not lead to the results expected.
You said, you got results showing in a little box. I cannot imagine, what that box should be. Please post a screenshot of it or describe what you did to get it.
Here's a somewhat more detailed description of what you need to do:
- mark the files and folders containing files you want to rename
- press Shift+Ctrl+R to get the Batch Rename plugin window.
- tick Include subdirectories
- fill in the other fields as detailed in my previous post
- check results in the Preview pane
- click the Rename button
Re: Reverse file name
Hi
The basics of finding my way around for what I usually use the program for is adequate.
Its the matricidal side (.*)\s*#\s*([^#]+)of how to do, that is miles beyond my ability to find or understand.
Your last piece of advise to include: Tick Include Subdirectories: Completed the job perfectly!
Thank you so much.
