S1 E1 CHANGE To -> Season 1 - Episode 1

[Guy]

Hi,

Should rename many episodes of "Supernatural" tv show from the below default form to the new better names, What're RE commands:

Note: The below example of default shows for season 1 (S 1 E 1), for next seasons; the numbers in front of "S" change to 2, 3, 4, ... for the next seasons.

Defulat:
Supernatural S1 E1

Wished:
Supernatural - Season 1 - Episode 1 =

Thank you

3:Replace

Code: Select all

Replace:  S1|S2|S3|E1|E2|E3
With:  Season 1|Season 2|Season 3|Episode 1|Episode 2|Episode 3


You could do something like that. Just extend out as needed.


Otherwise, I suppose you could do it with 1:RegEx, but that would take more thought .

Replace/With function can be helpful for "S -> Season (X)" because the number for the season is similar for all episodes, but when it comes to episode numbers, it fails, because each episode has its own specific number and can't rename a bunch of files at once and it's a confusing way. Just need Regex commands to rename those huge episodes cleanly and quickly.

RegEx (1) Enable Simple

Match: %1 S%2 E%3
Replace: %1 - Season %2 - Episode %3

Try this however there could be issues if there are words starting with S or E.
Might need a more complex regex that matches digits only.

Well done Admin!, That regex renamed my files as I expected without problems.
