Foldername from Filename

wpemployer · 2022-01-24 15:32

How can I get a renaming on existing Foldername based on the filename laying inside ?

I have a folder named BBM001
Inside Folder BBM001 is a file named "Artistname_-_Trackname.wav"

I want the result:

Foldername: BBM001_Artistname_-_Trackname"

The renamer should get the name for the folder from its trackname laying inside.
I tried many things even the metatag file_Filename to manually renamed to :Folder_Filename... smile)

But did not work.
Help is highly appreciated smile
Stay safe and healthy.
Hugs,
Tom

Please let me know if this is not possible or there is no solution for my task then I do not wait here anymore

Why do you wait?

Why not do something yourself and search before posting?

The question for your issue is, how can we know to get the right file, and next, how to detect the "Trackname" on that file?

We need some common anchor points from you.

Or is there always only one file? Or at least only one wav file?
And is the Trackname always the part after the last underscore till the end?

Next, how is the folder hierarchy, all folders in one main folder, or are there sub folders?

EDIT:
Ah, I see: not the Trackname but the the whole file name w/o extension as addition to the folder name.
OK, this part is understood now:

Hi Stefan,
thanks for the reply. I "wait" as I have to tag 8.000 Folders and I do not want to make it manually and therefore I waited every day for a solution or some response from your side or the community. No offence but I did not know to "search" the forum and your topics reach back to 2019 and 2017. I checked only until 2020 and guessed my request is too special or unneeded. Sorry for that.

It is always ONE FOLDER with ONE WAV FIle.
The Folders have NO subfolders.
I already gave the folders serial numbers 001,002,003 etc.
Now I need to fulfill 001 with the artistname and trackname from the file laying inside the folder 001.

So for example in Folder 001 lays audio file:
Artistname_-_Trackname.wav

Source:
001 (Foldername)
- Wpemployer_-_Cool_Track.wav

I need as end result:
001_Wpemployer_-_Cool_Track

You already have a task where you can rename the FILE by the FOLDER SOURCE. I need the OTHER WAY AROUND. Rename Foldername by FILE SOURCE.

Thanks for your patience. I would not ask if it would be for fun or testing )
Best,
Tom

Also checked the 3 links.
One is refereing to subfolders based on a mkv file.
Second is for renaming folders but not from a file.
Third is retrieving info from ID MP3 Tag. But due the fact I have wav files it will not containg and ID TAG.

FROM:
D:\rive\Folder\001\Artistname_-_Trackname.wav
D:\rive\Folder\002\Wpemployer_-_Cool_Track.wav

TO:
D:\rive\Folder\001_Artistname_-_Trackname\Artistname_-_Trackname.wav
D:\rive\Folder\002_Wpemployer_-_Cool_Track\Wpemployer_-_Cool_Track.wav

USE:
1) We gonna use the script from first link ( https://www.den4b.com/forum/viewtopic.p … 007#p10007 )
2) We adjust it slightly to our needs (see below)
3) Adjust your Filter Settings in ReNamer to "Add folders as files"
4) Add your folders to ReNamer via "Add Folders" or by drag&drop (if we had sub folders we would rename from lowest to top)
5) Add a PascalScript rule and add the below script
6) Press Preview and rename if fine for you

Read our wiki (link above) for a manual and for this special issue the link at 1) too.

var
  Files: TWideStringArray;
  FileExt: WideString;
  IsMovieFile: Boolean;
  I: Integer;

begin
  if WideDirectoryExists(FilePath) then
  begin
    SetLength(Files, 0);
    WideScanDirForFiles(FilePath, Files, False, False, False, '');
    for I := 0 to Length(Files) - 1 do
    begin
      FileExt := WideLowerCase(WideExtractFileExt(Files[I]));
      IsMovieFile :=
        (FileExt = '.mkv') or
        (FileExt = '.avi') or
        (FileExt = '.wav') or
        (FileExt = '.mp4');
      if IsMovieFile then
      begin
        FileName := FileName + '_' + WideExtractBaseName(Files[I]);
        Break;
      end;
    end;
  end;
end.
