Complicated File Renaming

Have thousands of youtube videos downloaded and am looking to organize them. The format they are downloaded in is:

{channel}.{yr}.{mo}.{day}.{videoname}.{videoname}.{resolution}.{extension}

ex: HotOnes.19.06.06.Halle.Berry.Refuses.to.Lose.to.Spicy.Wings.1080p.mp4

Looking to turn that example into:

Hot Ones - Halle Berry Refuses to Lose to Spicy Wings - 06/06/19 - 1080p.mp4

I know I am able to remove the periods and add the spaces, but reformatting/moving the dates are really throwing me off and I am not well versed in any scripting. Is automating this possible? Would rather not spend hours/days/weeks/months doing this manually.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Use the Replace method with the following Regular Expression:

(.*)\.(\d\d)\.(\d\d)\.(\d\d)\.(.*)\.([^\.]*)

and replace with:

\1 - \5 - \4-\3-\2 - \6

Then in a second method replace the remaining dots in the title with spaces.

"/" is illegal in Windows filenames so I have formatted the date as 06-06-19
I haven't bothered to insert a space in "HotOnes" - how you would do that depends on how the other filenames are formatted.

Second method - List replace:

1) Replace "((?!^)[A-Z](?=\w* -)(?!\w* - \d))" with " \1" (ie Space + Backslash + 1)
2) Replace "\." with " " (ie Space)

Case sensitive
Use regular expressions

Will definitely give this a try! Will this work batch on different length file names? Will this move the date to the end?

Just gave that a try...it doesn't move the date

Check that you have copied the expressions correctly.

As posted:

HotOnes.19.06.06.Halle.Berry.Refuses.to.Lose.to.Spicy.Wings.1080p.mp4

is renamed as

Hot Ones - Halle Berry Refuses to Lose to Spicy Wings - 06-06-19 - 1080p.mp4

which is exactly what you asked for (apart from the illegal date separator).
