Hi,

I sounds like you are looking for "parts":



Parts allows you to tell Flash Renamer how your filenames are structured. This is done by separating the different parts with characters that are common to your filenames. In the image above you can see that the parts have been defined as <%1>-<%2>. There is also a preview that shows you what your parts will translate to when used on a filename.

When defining the parts you should look for sections of your filenames that are common to all the filenames that you want to rename. The above example would for example work on all filenames that have a - in the middle.

When you have defined your parts you can use them as tags in functions. For example you can use them to rearrange filenames. Here is an example:

* Original filename: 01. Metallica (S&M) Nothing Else Matters
* Setup parts: <%1>. <%2> (<%3>) <%4>
* Rename with the following format: <%2> - <%1> - <%4>
* Filename after renaming: Metallica - 01 - Nothing Else Matters

Tip: Click on the magic wand button to automatically detect the parts of the filename that is selected in the preview box!

My question is this…is there any way to set up an artist naming function where files can be changed from last name, first name order to First Name Last Name order? Also, my karaoke rar files are named as such…- -
