Keeping Capital Letters In A Bracket

Xbon · 2011-08-10 18:54

Hi Guys Great Program only been using it for 20minutes or so but so far so good, thanks.
I am using the program to rename Folders of cd`s i have ripped and have come across a couple of areas i would like some help with..
I will try and explain the issues.

My cd singles folders contain the artist - the cd title then in [] brackets the Cd Cat number and the year so it`s like this...

Ace of Base - everytime It rains - [ACECD 10] - [2000]

I am trying to use case and Capitalize every word so it becomes

Ace Of Base - Everytime It Rains - [ACECD 10] - [2000]

but the problem is when i do that it becomes

Ace Of Base - Everytime It Rains - [Acecd 10] - [2000]

I need the Cd Cat contained in the [] to be all capitals ie [ACECD 10] and not [Acecd 10]

So any ideas on that appreciated..

Hi Xbon, welcome to the community.

FROM:
Ace of Base - Everytime it rains - [ACECD 10] - [2000]
TO:
Ace Of Base - Everytime It Rains - [ACECD 10] - [2000]

First i would try an >old trick of mine<

That is: move the basename/extension delimiter
so that "Ace of Base - Everytime it rains" is temporary the base name and "[ACECD 10] - [2000]" the extension.

Then you can change the case of the "base name" and prevent the "extension".

You can do that in a few steps/rules yourself:
Test this with copies first.
1) Replace: Replace last "." with "#"
2) Rearrange: Split by delimiters " - ", New pattern "$1 - $2.$3 - $4"
3) Case: Capitalize every word (skip extension)
4) Replace: Replace last "." with " - "
5) Replace: Replace last "#" with "."
Check the Preview.
If all looks fine, press Rename.

(Note: please find the Rearrange Rule in the ReNamer beta =>> http://www.den4b.com/?x=downloads)

An other way would be writing an PascalScript which would do the same but with one rule only.

Why not to add the possibility to Renamer to accept regex (so the delimiter will be something else than space) on the "force case to fragment" !?

Here is an alternative way.

1) Use "Case" rule to capitalize every word;

2) Use "PascalScript" to force content inside brackets upper case:

var
  Open, Close, Count: Integer;
  Part: WideString;
begin
  Open := WidePos('[', FileName);
  if Open > 0 then
    Close := WidePosEx(']', FileName, Open + 1);
  while (Open > 0) and (Close > 0) do
  begin
    Count := Close - Open - 1;
    Part := WideCopy(FileName, Open + 1, Count);
    WideDelete(FileName, Open + 1, Count);
    WideInsert(WideUpperCase(Part), FileName, Open + 1);
    Open := WidePosEx('[', FileName, Close + 1);
    if Open > 0 then
      Close := WidePosEx(']', FileName, Open + 1); 
  end;
end.
