Help with a File Format Template
Posted: 05 May 2022, 23:35
Hi. I'm somewhat new to FileBot and know basically nothing about coding languages. Up to this point I have managed to muddle through some basic automation of file renaming using the F2 menu in FileBot, mostly by googling. However, I'm currently trying to do something that has me stumped.
I'm trying to rename some episodes of a tv show, and the episodes actually contain 2 episodes per file. I'm trying to rename them in an appropriate manner so that FileBot will have the best possible accuracy during a search. Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
I have a set of files named:
"s01e01.m4v"
"s01e02.m4v"
and so on.
I want to rename these files to:
"s01e01 & s01e02.m4v"
"s01e03 & s01e04.m4v"
and son.
The following line in F2->Edit Format:
s01e{+i} & s01e{1+i}
...gets me close.
It correctly renames the first file. However, the next file not so much. It ends up looking like this:
"s01e01 & s01e02.m4v"
"s01e02 & s01e03.m4v"
And so on.
What am I doing wrong, here? As I said, I've just been muddling through up to this point, living off of snippets I've found in google searches and trying to make them work. If anyone can educate me here, I'd appreciate it.
P.S. If anyone has any suggestions or links for learning this stuff on my own, I'm totally open to it. I've done some googling on that, as well, but quickly become overwhelmed!
