The issue!
Okey, it looks like this...

So it seems to be that the report for the root folder is puched to the report for CD2


What I think cases the issue!
So my best guess for this problem is that BRC is bizzy finishing another command and the report for that gets pouched?
This is what I ask BRC todo, in this order...

This command looks in the above directory for files containing CD1, CD2 etc...renames these to "_RENAME_" + original filename then prints the result to a file

Code: Select all

> %TESTPATH1%\DiscCheck.nfo %BRC% /DIR:%1 /RECURSIVE /NOFOLDERS /IGNOREFILEX /pattern:"*.avi *.mkv *.mov *.mp4 *.mpeg *.wmv" /regexp:([\w\d].*)([\d].*)([\Q.\E])([\w]+):_RENAME_\1\2\3\4 /EXECUTE

This command search the created file "DiscCheck.nfo" for "renamed to _RENAME_" witch deterrence if any files containing CD1, CD2 was found!

Code: Select all

ECHO|findstr /I /C:"renamed to _RENAME_" %TESTPATH1%\DiscCheck.nfo"

This command change any uppercase ext to lowercase

Code: Select all

%BRC% /DIR:%1 /RECURSIVE /NOFOLDERS /CHANGEEXTCASE:L /EXECUTE

This command finds nfo dupes named somename.nfo.1 At first I tried to use "find" to located somename.nfo.1 etc, but could not get it to work with either

Code: Select all

*.nfo.? or *?nfo* or *.nfo.* or *.nfo??

so I use BRC witch is not that stupid and finds them easily! But as BRC cannot delete/move/copy anything (witch if it could, would get me to buy it Jim Willsher )
Then have BRC set any nfo dupes found with read-only attribute using

Code: Select all

%BRC% /DIR:%1 /RECURSIVE /NOFOLDERS /SETR /pattern:"*.nfo.*" /PREFIX:_DEL_ /EXECUTE

as simply using do not work...

Code: Select all

%BRC% /DIR:%1 /RECURSIVE /NOFOLDERS /SETR /pattern:"*.nfo.* /EXECUTE

then I wipe them with

Code: Select all

>nul 2>&1 del /s /q /a:r %1\*

So...maybe its to much for BRC to handle, so output for commands get incorrectly cued or such?

You should always post both Orig-FullPathNames & Desired-NewNames.
Otherwise, it becomes a guessing game for those wanting to help solve the problem.

Your 1st-code does not function as you descibe, so we are left wondering:
Is his code wrong?? Is he describing it wrong?? ...and the list goes on.
(most questions answered simply by knowing Desired-NewNames)

It sounds like you're creating errors that require work-arounds??
Theres definitely alot more going on here, so its foolish to guess right now.

BRC's output only has 2 options: showing renames(default) or not(/quiet).
It cannot generate false output, though its output can be improperly redirected.
If you need better in/out filtering (beyond redirects/pipes at the prompt) I'd highly recommend sed.

I have!

Say what? the first "code" does what is suppose to "redirect the output of BRC"

hmm, not really, it must have been that I began to explain what I think was happening that cases BRC to report incorrect path where it processed/renamed files...that got you all confused?

truth wrote:BRC's output only has 2 options: showing renames(default) or not(/quiet).

I know, As you can see I catch BRC outout on the first "code"

truth wrote:It cannot generate false output, though its output can be improperly redirected.

you recommend something called "Sed" and you tell me to be more clear, how the ....should i know what sed is ? , You think its the first that comes up on a google search...

truth wrote:You should always post both Orig-FullPathNames & Desired-NewNames

.
what??? I have done that! what is it you don't get, guess work? it's very clear what my issue is...It's not about renaming anything, its about BRC reports the incorrect location of the files that it processed/renamed...(now above) I explain just that! and what I think is happening...

Wile where at it, maybe somebody could help me figure out how to replace these files now called _RENAME_filename.avi with part of the folder name like

Code: Select all

iCMD The Man-CD1.avi   and   iCMD The Man-CD2.avi

Firstly, that code is a bit different from the original posted line:
> %1\DiscCheck.txt BRC /Dir:%1 /Recursive /NoFolders /IgnoreFileX /regexp:([\S\w?])([\d])([\Q.\E]):-CD\2
At best, it was misleading, perhaps it was just a bad paste, I wont guess what happened.

Precisely why I didnt bother guessing - too much missing data.. For now, I'll assume there's more to edit?
I'll give it some time, its best to keep these things on the same post anyway.

But again, BRU doesnt alter its output-format in the manner you now describe.
I've redirected hundreds of output-files, & never once had an issue with its output-buffer.
I dont even see that as a remote possibility, with so few filenames.

Yes, sed will be the first shown, I dont go anywhere without it, but it wouldnt help in this case.
Your data stream would already be corrupted before reaching sed, from what I have no idea.
For that, we need to see the appropriate batchlines, Orig-FullPathFileNames, & DesiredRenames.

Yes it is, its the regexp that differ, but again unreverent! As the topic says, this is about BRC showing the incorrect processing folder...

Don't bother, do not want your help! "too much missing data.. For now, I'll assume there's more to edit?" nothing is missing, just you being a smart ass & a know it all, that has trouble reading...

are you blind? whatever the issue there's a problem with the output that even a blind man could see.

My 1st post did address output, I even named the post (unedited) after it!

As stated, you're issue isnt BRU's output, its the way you're handling it, much of which has been conveniently omitted.
The sooner you come to grips with that, the sooner you will have a chance at solving your own problem.
Sorry if I didnt jump through enough hoops for you with more guesses, if thats what you were fishing for.

Correct: too much missing-data, and waaay too-much irrelevant data, quote trollish behavior if you ask me.
Not to mention the constantly-changing data, & now requests for data to help the poster get attacked?
Do you actually hear yourself?.. Thread abandoned.

Hahahaha! yeah right! what would be the point of that?

truth wrote:Not to mention the constantly-changing data

All done trying to make you understand, but obviously that's impossible mr know it all...

the sooner you understand that it's not about any nfo files, renaming etc,
