I have files like

Maria Sullivan-Hello, Morning.mp3
Ted Young & Travis Tim-This is not right.mp3
Eldon John-Love.mp3
Amada Lee & John Copper-Brothers.mp3

....


In deb4d renamer, I can add folder name to them and find "&" and put to a special folder:
Maria Sullivan\Maria Sullivan-Hello, Morning.mp3
(chorus)\Ted Young & Travis Tim-This is not right.mp3
Eldon John\Eldon John-Love.mp3
(chorus)\Amada Lee & John Copper-Brothers.mp3


Is it possible to make this happens with Advanced Renamer?

Do you want to move the files? You will then need to use the move batch mode.

In the new folder edit box you can use tags to specify the folder. Non-existing folders will be automatically created when running the batch.

I am ok to move files but I cannot find a way to move files to a special folder "(chorus)\" when & is detected.

Hi there, you are able to achieve this with the "Script Method". I hope this meets your requirements. Copy and paste the pastebin code in to a Script Method and press Apply, then try to batch convert those files. Looking forward to your reply:

Works perfectly thank you!

However, it will be even better if the script result can be previewed before running.

one more question, if I have the same filepath\filename, how can I add addition collision rule such as (#) to the end of the filename? eg. aaa-fdafdasfs(2).mp3 I tried to write a script for it but I cannot find a way to detect if the file is there already.

thanks!
