I KNOW this should be an easy one, but I am having a tough time thinking of how to do it.
sample filenames: 1x8 - The Double Affair 1x10 - The Finny Foot Affair My goal filename is: S## - e## - <Episode Name> The REPLACE method that I am currently using: Text to be Replaced: ^(.*)(\d+)x(\d+)(.*) Replace With: S0\2e\3 - \4 With this one, I am padding a 0 before the Season with a hard-coded '0', but I would like to change that, if possible. The value for e (Episode#) is not padded at all, and that is my goal here.....to pad both numbers to 2 integer places. Is there a way to do this with just 1 method, or would this require some scripting? |

Hi James, You can do it with two Renumber methods. Number positions would be 1 & 2; Relative to existing number; Number difference 0; padding manual; number length 2; apply to name. Best, DF |

Hi James. Don't think it's that easy. It's a bit tricky. For get what you want using regex you need 2 Replace methods. First: REPLACE: (\d{1,2})x(\d{1})\b REPLACE WITH: S0$1 - E0$2 Second: REPLACE: (\d{1})x REPLACE WITH: S0$1 - E Check Regular expression in both methods. This method can be used with all seasons. And now the less complicated way. I have used this method many times. IMPORTANT: First of all you need to make sure that the files are sorted 1x1 1x2 1x3 . . 1x20... and so on Will use a Replace method: REPLACE: * - This will remove all before the hyphen. REPLACE WITH: S01 - E<Inc Nr:1> - This will add the Season number and a episodes counter. This method need change the season number. For example S02 Here is capture with my examples. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g_zgMzq9NsgOShW JFbNTMNURhAdyMYjo/view Miguel PS. Love the The Man from U.N.C.L.E series. |

Right again, Miguel! :) I was so focused on just the number part I didn't see the other stuff. Good catch my friend! But on the other hand, couldn't you also add a Replace method as method #1: Replace: ^(\d+)x With: S$1 - e (case sensitive, regex on) Followed by the Renumber methods? ... It's not a 1-method solution, but it is season and episode agnostic, and nothing is hard-coded in except the "x" (which could be replaced with any other character, of course). It's my observation that the more specific to a small set of filenames, the less methods may be needed; on the other hand, the more generalized to a range of inputs, the more methods are needed to do exactly what is needed. But that's just a generalization in itself... :) Best, DF |
