Help with very basic script

[Grumpy]

Hi, i have been using Filebot for a while now to just rename files..awesome program

Anyway i was reading over at the Popcorn Hour forums and came across this thread

http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showt ... t=schedule

its exactly what i want to do but to be honest this stuff is way over my head

What i want to be able to do is take the movie/tv show from one folder, rename it and movie it to another folder just like u did in the youtube video in that thread.

so what i have done so far is just add this cmd file and it works but i would like to change a few things if possible

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:utorrent-postprocess "E:/Temp/old" --output "W:" -non-strict

It outputs to the correct folder with Movie and Tv folders

1.Is there a way to not have the movie and TV folders?
2.Also it deletes the file from the original folder, is it possible to not delete it

I don't know if this is all completely wrong but like i said i just seen it in action on the Popcorn Hour Forums

BTW my scripting skills are 0

Thanks

1. Possible, but it's a bad idea. Having TV Show and Movie folders mixed up? VERY BAD IDEA!!

2. It's not deleting, it's moving, as in default --action move. Guess what happens when you add --action copy

1.what i meant to say is i have a Movie folder but not individual movie folders

2.thanks, i told u i had no idea on this stuff ...I figured it was deleting it because normally when you move a file from one hard drive to another it still remains on the original as well as the new one

Hopefully i can figure out how to use this better, i thought it was just a rename tool.

1. Yes it does.

It's using this format:

Code: Select all

Movies/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y}){" CD$pi"}{".$lang"}

This will result in files organized like this:

Code: Select all

Movies/Avatar (2009)/Avatar (2009).avi
