How do I rename files with a parent folder and a child folder. Such as in the picture. I am looking for the website that shows this. can anyone help? John

You can get file path components via the {f} file binding.

How is this done, Is there an example that shows this... Where is it? John

{f[1..-2]} is the example solution you're supposed to copy and paste into the Format Editor and play with. You may need to adjust the numbers depending on your path structure.

{f.dir.dir.name} is also possible.

I keep getting a binding file "f" has not been set,

Here's what I have:

{[airdate]} {f[1..-2]} what is it looking for???? John

You have not selected any media file to test with yet. Click Change Sample and set a media file.

Please read the FAQ: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7


I recommend first matching files, then double-clicking the New Names item, so that it can open the Format Editor wit the real match data you're currently processing.

Thank you for your help Rednoah one last thing....

Using the UI can I do file matching? or is that a cmdline thing only! John
