Maybe for some experts this is an easy task,
but somehow i was confused because i only used it for a few days and i know nothing about scripts, I'm having a problem to swap file names, for example i want to change this name: Metallica - 01 - Pre-Grammy rehearsal (Feat. Lady Gaga).mp3 Metallica - 02 - The Final Bell Tolls (Feat. Europe).mp3 to this name: Metallica Feat. Lady Gaga - 01 - Pre-Grammy rehearsal.mp3 Metallica Feat. Europe - 02 - The Final Bell Tolls.mp3 Is there a way to make this happen in Advanced Renamer? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks :) |

This is straightforward to accomplish using the Replace method with a Regular Expression.
Replace: (.*)( -.*- )(.*) \((.*)\) With: \1 \4\2\3 Check: Use regular expressions You should be able to sort out how this works if you read the entry in the User Guide at: www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/regular_expresions (particularly read "A more advanced example"). Hints: ".*" matches any number of any characters Enclosing a "sub-pattern" in parentheses means that the matched string is saved in a variable: \1, \2 etc, which can be used in the replacement string. Since characters such as parentheses have special meanings in a regular expression they must be "escaped" by prefixing with "\" in order to represent themselves. |
