 |
|
Hi *,
I'm trying to rename author's folders into the form
"lastname, firstname (initial.)*"
I'm using the following lines (the two line approach takes care of the occasional "jr." appendix):
1s: | Code: | | (?=^[^,]+$)(?!.*[jJ][rR]\.?$)^((\w+\.?[ ]+)+)(\w+)$ |
1r:
2s: | Code: | | (?=^[^,]+$)(?=.*[jJ][rR]\.?$)^((\w+\.?[ ]+)+)(\w+)[ ]*[jJ][rR]\.?$ |
2r:
3s: # two blanks
3r: # one blank
4s: # one leading blank
4r: # one leading blank
I'm encountering the following problem: A folder named "Jean M. Auel" is correctly shown in the preview line as "Auel, Jean M.", but the scan result shows no trailing dot. My 4th s/r line was specifically designed to remidy this issue by adding a trailing dot to trailing initials, without success.
Can anyone help me?

Hi,
There is a minor bug with the previewer. It should not be showing the trailing period because windows does not allow file or folder names to end in a period.
