FileBot

Hi there,

So I'm using the exact same code on the same version of filebot in both the GUI and command line, except when I run the command line I get a different result, I think it probably stems back to trying to run n.replaceFirst on it, and moving the "The" to the back of the filename, the script I run by command line is:

filebot -script fn:amc --log-file amc.log --action duplicate --conflict override -non-strict "../media" --def "seriesFormat=..media/tv-shows/{n.replaceFirst(/^(?i)(The|A|An)\s(.+)/, /$2, $1/)}/{'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{n.replaceFirst(/^(?i)(The|A|An)\s(.+)/, /$2, $1/)} - {s00e00} - {t} ({vf})" "movieFormat=../movies/{n.replaceFirst(/^(?i)(The|A|An)\s(.+)/, /$2, $1/)} ({y})/{n.replaceFirst(/^(?i)(The|A|An)\s(.+)/, /$2, $1/)} ({y}) ({vf})" excludeList=../amc.txt music=n artwork=n plex=host

and in the GUI I have the series script set to:

../tv-shows/{n.replaceFirst(/^(?i)(The|A|An)\s(.+)/, /$2, $1/)}/{'Season '+s.pad(2)}/{n.replaceFirst(/^(?i)(The|A|An)\s(.+)/, /$2, $1/)} - {s00e00} - {t} ({vf})

I've included the logs from the GUI and the command line below, any help to uncover what the problem is would be much appreciated, everything else works fine apart from when I try to rename series that begin with "The".

I'm running filebot v4.5.6 on Lubuntu if that helps.

Think about what you're actually passing in. If you use "..." quotes then the shell will resolve all the $variables so what you think you're passing isn't actually what you're passing along.

So... don't use $ if you don't know what it means. In your case using sortName() would be the much cleaner solution anyway.

That worked perfectly, sorry I completely forgot about it running differently inside the command line, thanks rednoah!
