Batch change name?

Post by meganmcshea »

I posted this before I had version 2. Now that I have it, I can't figure this out. Anyone willing to help a non-programmer?

Here's my question: Is there a way to remove characters from the name of the source files automatically using the "Change Name To" command in the batch processor?

I'm converting a large amount of wav files to mp3s, and we using a naming convention that means we'd remove the last two characters in the wav file name to prodcue the mp3 file name.

in other words, testcoll_157_S.wav
would become testcoll_157.mp3

thank you.

Hi Martin,

I had basically the same question as the OP, but couldn't see the picture in your post....any chance of a re-attaching? Many thanks!

Done. Sorry, it looks like I trashed the source file for that screenshot by mistake… Regards,

This is possible for example by checking the "Filter Files" checkbox,
entering the pattern

(.{2}).*

there and entering FIDIM167-\1.mp3 into the "Change Name To" field.

If you want to make sure that only aif files get converted and the track
number could have a number of digits different from two, the pattern

([0-9]*).*\.aif

would do the job. Regards,

Martin

Coppying a track on another track

Post by Tere Codina »

Hi all,

I have two tracks everyone in one window of Amadeus. I want to copy a poem
on the other track which contains music.

Is there any notes to learn how to perform this job?

I have tried but without luck.

Thank you.
