Multiple replace question

[markcoutinho]

Here's my problem:
I got files that are named like this:

Ramones ft. MC Hammer - A Swan In The Lake.jpg

I want to change these into another case like this

Ramones ft. MC Hammer - A swan in the lake.jpg

So, actually, everything after the - (hyphen?) sign should be lower case apart from the first letter of the first word.

How can I do this in the multiple replace box?

Just for this example you have to put something like this in Rename mask for file name:
[N1-25][L][N26-]
But here you always have to count the length of the beginning. I don't know how to make a general rule for any filename where the dash can be in different places.

Hi,

you can do this in 4 steps:

Code: Select all

Filename   Search             Replace         Options 
========================================================= 
[N]        . (dot)             ### 
[N]        (.* - )(.{1})(.*)  $1$2.$3         RegEx + Subst 
[N][L]     . (dot)            <delete> 
[N]        ###                . (dot)

Reload the filenames after each step. Don't write the (dot), it is only a hint that there is a dot to enter (i can hardly see it on my screen).

Best regards

Clas

I am using it a lot to rename ,mp3 songs. I though I am a sofisticated
user, of it. Now I know better.
You forced me to take a look at the Help file, and I realize how many commands we got there.
thank you for enlighting me. ( sorry for the speling . My main language is Hebrew)

In the new TC (6.5x) you can also use data from .wdx plugins during multirenaming, e.g you can use Artist, Album, Track, etc.
