EDIT - I seem to have resolved this (a few hours later) by using a tilde instead of a curly bracket for each side of the string; and using indexOf and lastIndexOf to distinguish them. This is a workaround, not a solution, though. My need here, was to use a character (or sequence of characters, whic...

Feature Request: Multi-format GUI The ability to select up to several different formats for a given type (i.e. episode, movies...) would be great! I use my format with, or without, folders (depending on the collection), and have to switch between them regularly. In this case, it's easy to dump/comm...

Beautiful! ...and very, very useful to see the code!

I now "THINK" I have everything I need for my 99.9% !!

I must run the collection once more to catch any oddballs, but thank you so much!!
Will share when ready...

Hey, elgallo - FB has the capability of (almost) endless customization, so those who decide to perfect their naming schemes through a tool, rather than manually, have an opportunity to do so. That's why the program exists. If you really need/want only a basic renamer, there are lots of other apps ou...

1. I'd do something like: {fn.after(n).after(t).match(/whatever/)} I've been playing with it today; it's closer, but I also add special formatting to some shows, that a different rule needs to cover (I forgot to mention it). I've almost got it done... 2. FileBot doesn't drop anything, but I'm prett...

I agree. I use TVDB on XBMC for shows and an IMDB scraper for movies. TMDb doesn't even have matches for some of my movies. What do I do when there is no match? Just ignore them and organize them manually after FileBot moves everything else? I've only toyed with my movie renaming - I had them manua...

I'm not sure where the issue lies with pulling incorrect shows from the dbase - either FB is not 'accurate' enough, or the dbase APIs are not 'smart' enough. So when a show contains the word 'Love', for example, I always get about 25 results - even when the input file has the exact, correct matching...

All of that actually looks quite foreign to me. Maybe I'm overthinking it. Or maybe I'm too used to being coddled by super simple GUIs. My mouth would water if I could just highlight a checkbox that says "organize files into genres." Howdy... the power of Filebot is that it is designed to...

YES! The .indexOf combined with the map, is, I guess, what I needed... and I'm guessing it's building a temporary list from the map (.toList) to do the checking. I can use that in other ways, too!!! 'Position' is the word I'd neglected to use - I kept referring to 'priority' or 'preference'... when ...

OK; I think I see how this works now. But, it's not QUITE doing what I need. If this can be used for my purpose, I'm still unable to see it (so I apologize) :? I'll re-phrase my issue again... Here's a sample show: 7.39, The S01E01 - Episode 1 [Drama, Mini-Series, Romance] Here's a sample of this co...

It appears to me that this will -sort the genres after re-mapping them to my liking (1), -test if there are no genres at all (4), -and mark the show with non-matched genres as No Match (3), but I can't see it helping me select a genre based on a rule I set up (2). I think what this is doing is 1)sor...

Not sure if this will help... it's a much cleaner way to map the replacement genres, but that's only part of the process I need to figure out. I'd like to: 1) Map the existing genres for a show to my own ones - this can do that. But an if/then/else loop is needed here: 2) Check (all the genres for a...

Well, I have to ask for a bit more help. I've searched high & low for weeks, to no avail. I just cannot find a way to get this to work. I use this code: Z:\Premiers\SORTED\{if(genres.contains ('Lifestyle')) {'Life'} else if (genres.contains ('Comedy')) {'Comedy'} else if (genres.contains ('Docum...

Hey sorry, found a another show messing up. Newsreaders. For instance, S02E07 will rename to s01e07. Doesnt seem to pull the 2nd season from thetvdb. It looks to me like the 2x07 episode data for 12/11 wasn't in the dbase at the time you posted this on the same day. Therefore, FB assumes x07, and f...

Feature Request: give GUI Select 'Shows matching ______' wider range Presently, the 'Select' popup displays the term/word it has found for a given title, returning the shows it could match with that term. When running just a few shows at a time, it's easy to remember what you're running, and figure...

1. Do share that 4k format expression sometime. I'd highly discourage anyone from doing anything crazy like that at home though. :D Once cleaned up again, I will (note: if I go to the trouble of slimming it down in more efficient terms, it would be quite a bit smaller) . I want to make DevXen &...

1. I'm not enforcing a limit, but the toolkit might, and limiting a single line text field to ~10.000 chars seems perfectly reasonable choice to me. :D I'd make myself a script that strips away the comments. Yes, I retain a copy without comments & keep new code reconciled in both, so I can use ...

Your format makes my eyes bleed. Well, I DID say it was 'kludgy'... I admitted it may not be efficient, but I'm still working to understand the code first, and make it work, then make it simpler. Performance is not my concern while I'm still trying to make things work; functionality is. *SIDEBAR: i...

Thank you!! I was finally able to get something working, as I decided not to set specific strings for the genre check. If TVRage just changed a bunch of genres, they might change a bunch more; so a general function is preferable so that any major re-sort doesn't have to be manually checked. While th...

1. The conclusive answer to having / in the filename is that you can't have / in the filename. I know this ;) ; but whoever maintains TVRage's dbase apparently doesn't know this, or has never used its API. 2. {'Military/War'.replace('/', '-')} I know this, too... ;) What I am searching for is a gen...

I've been working on this since I posted... I couldn't get your am/pm code to work fully, but it seems to be working with this code: .replaceAll(/[a|A]\.M\./, "AM").replaceAll(/[p|P]\.M\./, "PM") The McX... now works, thank you! The (AU) seems OK, but I know I have redundant, per...

Big thanks to rednoah for creating this tool; and to (specifically) Ithiel & DevXen, whose 'ultimate' formatting posts have led so many forward. I'm not yet ready to run scripts on my files; too many exceptions to any given set of rules, to let it automatically run. So I'm quite happy using the ...

Sometimes the short works better than the long... that makes sense now, thank you!
And keep up the good work!!

I'm implementing a few changes with extended metadata lookup from into the format for all {info} related bindings. It will be more sane, but it'll stop working for case that used to sorta work. Basically i'm taking cross-database lookup out. I'm not sure what you mean by this... but I'm clearly not...

I've finally given up on finding a solution myself... the genres for some data simply don't "exist" and I don't know why. I'm hopeful that 1) there IS a solution, and 2) someone can explain it. Here's my format: Z:\Premiers\SORTED\{if(genres.contains ('Comedy')) {'Comedy'} else if (genres....
