Batch execution of .bru files

[karenettson]

I am new to the told so bear with me...
I want to execute a list of .bru files in a certain order. The should act on all files in a certain folder but the filter normally applies to one or more files in the folder depending on certain criteria defined in the bru file.
Currently I open the bru files one by one in order to do different renaming tasks
Is there a way to create a batch file in which I list all bru files to be executed.

I don't believe there is a way to do what you want. Like you, I used to run several passes to get to my desired names.

However, there may be features in BRU v4.1.0.1 that will help you combine your renaming tasks into one. These are:
1) Special(14) Order
2) Regex(1) Multiple Match/Replace commands using the RegEx(1)v2 separator (X?)
3) Regex(1) Repeat Match/Replace commands using the RegEx(1)v2 globally repeat modifier /g
4) Replace(3) Multiple Replace/With commands using the | separator

1) Requires a license to enable the feature (less than £20!). It is explained in the BRU pdf manual on Page 51 under Change Renaming Order.
2) (?X) is explained in the BRU manual on page 50 under SPECIFYING MULTIPLE REGULAR EXPRESSIONS USING THE (?X) SEPARATOR.
3) /g is explained in the BRU manual on page 48 under REGULAR EXPRESSIONS (VERSION 2).
4) | is explained in the BRU manual on page 5 under Replace (3)

I hope this is of some use to you.

Hi, the ability to run .bru files automatically without user interaction is on our to do list.

Sounds good. Can you give a hint when it will be released?
