Adding space wnen spliting 3 chars in random locations

[shura]

Hello! It maybe answered already, but am a new user BRU, still learning and a bit confused.
Need help how i can split a 3 chars with space, located at different positions in file name. Have a hundreds music files
where words connected with dash. I want split it with spaces, but leaving dash intact .
Sample:
1-file name - singer-info
Need :
1 - file name - singer - info
I know how manually do that, but there hundreds files and i looking how automate this. Scripts, wild cards, etc..?
Thank you in advance.

Maybe two passes will do it?

3:Replace

Code: Select all

Replace:  <sp>-<sp>
With:  -


Rename.

Then

Code: Select all

Replace:  -
With:  <sp>-<sp>


Rename.


Note that there are likely to be some "breakages".
Like the group name, "A-ha", would come out as "A - ha" (but then you might have its name as "Aha" rather then "A-ha").
