Create new folder from regular expression

Postby danvet » Thu Apr 01, 2021 7:17 pm

I am trying to create a new folder from part of an existing folder in order to sort my music collection. Is this possible?

Current folder name: "Artist - Album"
I would like to move this into an "Artist" directory: "Artist" \ "Artist - Album"

I managed to set up Regular Expressions to pull out the "Artist" and "Album" from from the current folder names... but can I actually CREATE a new folder ("Artist") from that information?

The Replace field of the RegEx box doesn't seem to respond to directory separators to define the new path (or maybe I just don't know how?).
And the Copy/Move box doesn't respond to the RegEx expression.

Can it be done?
