I wish to rename music files which have been ordered <Artist> - <Title> to <Title> - <Artist>. I do not understand the PERL programming language. Help please.
Example: The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night.mp3 to A Hard Day's Night - The Beatles.mp3 |

There is two solutions to your problem. 1. solution If your MP3 files have prober ID3 tags you can construct a new file name based on the ID3 tags. Use the New Name method and in the text box write <ID3 Title> - <ID3 Artist>.<Ext> http://www.advancedrenamer.com/docs/docs_show.p hp?ident=method_newname 2. solution The second solution is to use regular expressions. Regular expressions is primarily made for advanced users and programmers but I can help you use it for this case. Use the Replace and configure it as this: Text to be replaced: (.*) - (.*) Replace with: \2 - \1 Use regular expressions: Checked Apply to: Name http://www.advancedrenamer.com/docs/docs_show.p hp?ident=method_replace I hope this helps you. |
