Replace : colon with ∶ ratio

[RBCC]

Hi folks:

I have a movie name that needs a colon in but in {n}=" The Rescuers Down Under" and I would like to put a colon between Rescuers and Down Under using the ratio symbol. Such as The Rescuers ∶ Down Under.

Thank you oh so much JTM

If it's a case-by-case edit, then you'll probably want to use Double-Click ➔ Edit Name to make edits before renaming.

The Rescuers Down Under doesn't originally contain a : colon so we can't just replace that with ∶ ratio. Something like "add ∶ ratio after the second word" probably doesn't make much sense. If it's just a matter of replacing : colon with ∶ ratio then that would be easy though.

e.g. replace : colon with ∶ ratio

Code: Select all

{ n.colon('∶ ') }

Code: Select all

Star Wars∶ Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

how do I seperate the rescuers down under with a ratio. so it reads the rescuers : down Under? if the {n} is the only thing that used to hold "the rescuers down under? are there string manipulation commands that can do this ?

The Rescuers Down Under

is the correct name in all places/ languages I can find, so if you REALLY want the colon just rename in windows explorer

or
replace the

Code: Select all

{n}

with

Code: Select all

{'the rescuers : down Under'}

or

Code: Select all

{n.replaceAll(/.+/,'the rescuers : down Under')}

or

Code: Select all

{n.replaceAll(/The Rescuers Down Under/,'the rescuers : down Under')}

or

Code: Select all

{n.replace('The Rescuers Down Under','the rescuers : down Under')}

[RBCC]

Code: Select all

{"Main Character∶  "} {n.replace("Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer","Rudolph")}

when i press use format this happens:

WHat did I type that was wrong?

[rednoah]

Looks like you missed a - dash and mistyped a lower-case t.

As in 1964-

No. Replacement is exact to the symbol and letter case. The name of the movie name is "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" but are replacing "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" which isn't exactly the same and so you replace nothing.

Note that most software expects the file name and the database entry to match exactly. If you mess up the file name by replacing : colon with ∶ ratio then FileBot and any other 3rd party software may have trouble making sense of the file name in the future.
