I'm trying to find a way of renaming a large number (2,000+) of ebook files which have the author's name first, to have the book title first, but also to reorder the author's name. For example:
Original name: Adams, Douglas - So Long, and Thanks for All the Fishes.epub Required name: So Long, and Thanks for All the Fishes - Douglas Adams.epub Or, where the author's name is several words, or there's more than one author. For example: Original name: Stevenson, Robert Louis - Treasure Island.epub Required name: Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson.epub Is there a simple way of doing this, even though it might require a couple of intermediate steps, or will it require a custom-written script (of which I have zero knowledge)? Help would be much appreciated. |

You have to find a common rule for all files: "where is the point to swap"? For example swap always at the first found hyphen. Or separate your files into several groups with different rules. Next, try to use a tool like the "Swap method" (http://www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/metho d_swap) |
