Hi rednoah,

How will it be possible while using the [Plain File Mode] to get a hardlink to the proper folder when the naming goes from "Firstname Lastname" to "Lastname, Firstname" ?
Jeff Rovin - [Tom Clancy's Op-Center 21] - Tom Clancy's Op-Center- Call of Duty.epub

Code: Select all

{drive}/{"media"}/{"books"}/{fn.match(/(.*) (.*)/).replace(/\2 \1/)}/{fn}

The end-result I would like it to be: /media/books/Rovin, Jeff/Jeff Rovin - [Tom Clancy's Op-Center 21] - Tom Clancy's Op-Center- Call of Duty.epub

e.g.

Code: Select all

"Jeff Rovin".replaceFirst(/(\S+) (\S+)/, /$2, $1/)

Code: Select all

Rovin, Jeff

Great.
Almost there.
I need the folder name only and it needs to be Lastname, Firstname and nothing else from the filename.

Code: Select all

{drive}/{"media"}/{"books"}/{fn.replaceFirst(/(\S+) (\S+)/, /$2, $1/)}/{fn}

e.g.

Code: Select all

"Jeff Rovin XYZ".replaceFirst(/(\S+) (\S+).*/, /$2, $1/)

Wow, you truly nailed it!
This is exactly what is needed.

I will keep on learning.
Thank you, very much.
