create subdirectories based on regular expression components

[Kenji]

First of all thanks for an awesome program, I even reactivated my Pay Pal account to make a donation (seeing as I've been using BRU for a few years now )

I was thinking it would be good to be able to use regular expression components (or possibly other features of the program) to make directory structures.

eg

If I have folders called;

01-Part1
01-Part2

it would be nice to be able to match
([^-]*)-([^-]*)
and rename to
\1/\2

where forward slash is representing a folder division so a new folder "01" is created with two sub directories "Part1" and "Part2" (I'm sure there is a better syntax for the rename string \1"\"\2 or something)

I suppose this might be a bit out of scope for this program, but just a suggestion.

Cheers

I'm sure this is somehting which could be included. So, if the resulting filename contains a forward slash then the file should be placed in that foldername. So,

ABCDEF/GHI.txt

will get renamed to GHI.txt in folder ABCDEF

I'll have a look to see if this is feasible.

Ahh yeah that's a much better way of putting it...

I wonder if there would be any reason for being able to specify a folder division in the Match field too? Perhaps when using the Subfolders option?
I think most likely applications are already possible with the Append Folder Name option though..

Thanks for looking at this

Hi,

Did anything get added for this as it would be a very useful feature?
Anyother way to achieve this with othere BRU settings?
