Hi Peter and community,
Got a quick question... I am trying to change some music videos I have from one folder... into a folder for each artist.

Currently I have:
Artist - Song.wmv

I'd like to have:
Artist\Artist - Song.wmv

Is this possible using your you RenAmiNG Kit? I am very technically gifted.. but your scripting language is way over my head. From what I've seen.. your software looks amazing.. just wish I understood it more.. but I am learning. Any idea on how to do the above? Thank you.

Nevermind.. I got it. Just got lucky playing around.. here is the solution for others in need:

SEARCH PATTERN:
(?EBx)(.*?)[ ]*[-]+[ ]*(.*?)[ ]*[][ ]*(.*) # build path

REPLACE PATTERN:
\1/\2/\1 - \3

Not sure if that's exactly right.. but it seems to work so far.

Your regular expression will work but it defines what appears to be an extra third group that won't match anything for the case you outlined.
A cleaner solution, in case you would like to try it, is:

Search:
(?BEx)^(.*)[ ]*[-][ ]*(.*)

Replace:
\1/\1 - \2

Hope that is useful.

Peter.

Thank you Peter for the correction. You've made the most powerful, and thus best, renaming program I've ever seen. I know because I've tried most of them. Thank you for saving me countless hours this weekend and I'm sure.. hours yet to come. Very Happy
