Move "The", preserve Year

[dalben]

I'll start another thread as the last got no reply.

I need to do the following:

"The Filename.ext" to "Filename, The.ext" and "The FIlename (1234).ext" to "Filename, The (1234).ext"

I can handle it when the titla has no (Year) in it. But when it has the (Year) I'm coming unstuck.

FWIW, I'm using the following to move "The" to the end of the title:

Code: Select all

Find: ^(The)\s(.+)$
Replace: \2, \1

I think you will need two rules for the two different group of file name patterns.

FROM:
"The FIlename (1234).ext"
TO:
"Filename, The (1234).ext"

USE RegEx
Find: ^(The) (.+) (\(\d\d\d\d\))$
Replace: \2,\1 \3



.
