If a file begins with "The", is there a way for AR to:
- move "The" (and the space) to the end of the title but before the date - add a comma and a space before "The" Example: Original name: The Other Guys (2010) New name: Other Guys, The (2010) Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Hi Ted, Absolutely! Very easy too. Use a replace method: (No quotes, they're just to demonstrate the spaces) Replace: "^The (.*) \(" Replace with: "$1, The (" Occurrence: All Case sensitive: NO Use regular expressions: CHECKED Apply to: Name The only thing that would mess it up is if there's a parenthesis in your name before the parenthesis around the date. Unless THAT parenthesis had a date (nnnn) inside it, you could just use this instead: EDIT: Oops! I had to get food out of the oven and got careless. I've fixed it now. END EDIT Replace: "^The (.*) (\(\d{4})" Replace with: "$1, The $2" (everything else the same) Best, DF |

In thinking about this, neither of these will work correctly if you have for instance: "The Other Side of Midnight (remastered) (1975)" In that case you'd get "Other Side of Midnight (remastered), The (1975)" It probably won't come up, but I'm known for my over-sharing. :) Best, DF |
