Honey I Shrunk the Kids 1989 H264 AAC -----> Honey I Shrunk the Kids (1989)

Note quite sure if this is what you're looking for, but...


This looks for 4 digits (a "date") with leading & trailing spaces.
Code: Select all
Match:  (.*)\s(\d\d\d\d)\s
Replace:  \1 (\2)


Honey I Shrunk the Kids 1989 H264 AAC
Honey I Shrunk the Kids (1989)

Depending on your filename, you may need to adjust things:

Klubbheads - 1000 Front To The Back - 14 - Ben's Sixpack 1000 Minimix
Klubbheads - 1000 Front To The Back - 14 - Ben's Sixpack (1000)
vs.
(.*?)\s(\d\d\d\d)\s
Klubbheads - (1000)
