hey there :)

so i have the following:

Smith vs. Smith (June 4, 2009).mp4

and I want it to read

AJPW - (06/04/2009) - Smith vs. Smith

How would I go about this? I tried some various things I've used before and played around with it but I've had zero luck.

Thanks in advance!!

First, the character "/" is not allowed in a Windows filename - so you will have to format your date something like "06_04_2009" instead.

Try using 3 methods in your batch:

1) Renumber - to zero-pad the day...
Number position: 1
Change to: Relative to existing number
Number difference: 0
Zero padding: Manual
Number length: 2

2) List replace - to change the months to numeric format and change the separator from a space...
Add one line for each month:
eg. Replace June<space> with 06_

3) Replace method - to complete the process...
Text to be replaced: (^.*) (\(.*),(.*\))
Replace with: AJPW - \2_\3 - \1
Use regular expressions
