Hi there
It seems this program could be an elegant solution to my problem - if I can figure out how to apply it! My (numerous) files are cdg/mp3 files, with matching details apart from the extensions - viz: Number - Artist - Title.cdg Number - Artist - Title.mp3 I tried the swap method function, but found the two separators in the filename seemed to throw up unexpected results - with the number getting moved around too - which I think I understand why...? So I wondered if a regular expression can be applied somehow in the move function to swap the Artist & Name ? Or another solution? I have only a cursory amount of experience with regular expressions, so directions would be much appreciated. Thanks Doug |

What is the main question? FROM: Number - Artist - Title.cdg Number - Artist - Title.mp3 TO: Number - Title - Artist.cdg Number - Title - Artist.mp3 Match everything up to first hyphen, then all till second hyphen, then the rest? Re-order as first match, third match, second match. ??? If 'Yes' then try https://www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/metho d_replace search: (.+) - (.+) - (.+) replace: \1 - \3 - \2 [x]RegEx apply to name HTH? |

Yes - THH! Precise, elegant and just the tip of the iceberg. 30 years too late for me to start realising the full potential of regular expressions. But I now have a licence so who knows ... Thanks Doug |
