This add-on works with MM 2.x and 3.x. It allows powerful finding and replacing of strings inside of selected/visible tracks in the tracklist window of your audio database. The matching criteria and the replacement string can be created using Regular expressions or VBScript expressions which provides very flexible transformations of data. Almost all MM fields are supported!

Installation:
- For MediaMonkey 3.x - just double-click on the RegExpReplace.mmip file; if you are on Vista make sure you have MM3 set to "Run as Administrator"; if you downloaded the installation package with IE7 and it changed its extension to a .zip, you should first change it back to a .mmip.
- For MediaMonkey 2.x - rename a .mmip extension to a .zip, extract RegExpReplace.vbs and RegExpReplace.ini files to the MediaMonkey's "Scripts\Auto" folder and restart MM program.
Usage:
After the installation you will find a new option in the Edit menu of the MM program - RegExp Find and Replace. When you click on it, you'll get the same dialog box as it is in the screenshot from the top of this page. There are options similar to the almost any Find/Replace dialog in other programs, e.g. MS Word, but with extra additions of VBScript/Regular expressions. This means, if you don't turn on the option Regular expression, it will work almost as you expect. So, in the Find what text box you could enter string which you want to find inside of the MM field specified in the Into dropdown list, and after click on the Find Next button you should get the first track which contain matching criteria.
If you want to replace data in the founded track, you could enter some text in the Replace with text box (if you leave this box empty, the source data will be removed after using some Replace buttons, i.e. it will be replaced with the empty string). Contrary to the field in the Into dropdown list which always should be specified, the field inside of the From dropdown list is active only if you turn on the option Regular expression 2 or VBScript expression. This means, you could use string for replacements from existing MM fields only in combination with the VBScript/Regular expressions. But don't worry if you don't know Regular expressions - for the begin, all you should know is that you could specify .* if you want to use full string from some field.
This add-on doesn't support DOS/Windows file wildcards * and ?. Anyway, they are very limited in comparison to the possibility which you have using Regular expressions! For example, instead of * you could write .*, also instead of ? you could write .? and you would get almost same results.
Very important thing to know if you want to do some replacements is that a field specified with the Into dropdown list is a destination (to where replacement will take an effect), and a field specified with the From dropdown list is a source (from where you want to take a data). Maybe this is not so usual, because on many places you would find a source data area first and after that a destination, but this layout is here in use because such layout have almost all Find/Replace dialog boxes.
If you don't want to use some MM field for replacement, you could uncheck options Regular expression 2 and VBScript expression. In that case exactly same string entered in the Replace with text box will replace source data in all matched tracks if you click on the Replace All button. There is one exception for this - if you have checked the option Regular expression 1, you could specify $1, $2, ..., $xx tokens in the Replace with text box. In this case $1, $2... could not be used directly as replacement, so for example if you want to replace source string with $1 as the real text, you should specify double $ sign, i.e. $$1.
If you don't know too much about Regular expressions, here is some short explanation about this syntax. For example, if I want to swap the first and the last name of artists, I could specify "^(.+)\s(.+)$" in the Find what text box. Here we have two groups of expressions between parentheses - the first group is for the first name and the second is for the last name. So, if I want to swap this two groups, I need to specify "$2 $1" in the Replace with text box (if I enter "$1 $2", I will get same string as the source). As much as you have expressions surrounded by parentheses in the Find what text box, you could specify $nn tokens in the Replace with text box. If you don't want some expression to be used for replacements, but you need to put it inside of parentheses, you could specify "(?:expression)", where ?: is telling that this expression is not captured (numbered).
There are also some more "$" tokens which you could enter into Replace with text box, for example $&. This token substitute the text matched with the string from the field specified in the Into dropdown list. So, for example, if you enter "^.*" into Find what text box and "$&$&" into Replace with text box, you will get duplicated source string as a result of replacement (the option Regular expression 1 should be checked, and the Regular expression 2 should be unchecked). Of course, in previous examples you don't need to enter apostrophes ("") into text boxes - they are here as representation of the string.
Regular expressions are fairly complex for use and there are many sites on Internet which you could visit if you want to learn how to create them. For example, http://www.regular-expressions.info where you could find very nice tutorial about this.
Instead of using the Find Next button, you could manually browse your selected tracks with a help of |< and >| buttons and spinbox next to them. In the "Original" and "Result" textual areas, you would get displayed a result of possible string replacing for the current track. After you find a track which you want to change its data, you could click on the Replace button, and the add-on would transform string data for this track and try to find the next matching track, same as you get with the Find Next button. So, it is enough to click repeatably on the Replace button several times to replace string in all tracks which match specified criteria. If you are sure that all selected tracks contain string which should be replaced, you could use the Replace All button instead.
Maybe this is not obvious, so you should know that before you enter to the RegExp Find and Replace dialog box, you should first select tracks in the MM tracklist window for which you want to search or replace their data. If you don't select any track, this add-on will search/replace all tracks which are visible inside of the tracklist window. Please be very careful! If your tracklist has displayed all tracks from your database, after inappropriate usage of this add-on you could get undesired effect, i.e. corruption of your data. So, before any significant modification of data, please make a copy of the database first, especially in the begin until you get to be familiar with this add-on.
FAQ:
- Q - How to create an "empty" preset that I can modify and save?
- A - If you want to create a completely new preset: open the Edit / RegExp Find and Replace dialog box and click on the New button, type some text in the Preset field for its name and set other parameters; after that you should click on the Add button.
- If you want to create a new preset based on some existing one: open the Edit / RegExp Find and Replace dialog box and choose initial preset from the Preset dropdown list, change its name and make necessary modifications on parameters; when you finish with them you should click on the Add button and preset will be saved as a new, not overwriting the initial one.
By the way, there are two different ways to modify some existing preset:
1. choose Edit / RegExp Find and Replace, then select the preset from the Preset dropdown list, edit it and click on the Rename/Update button.
2. choose Edit / RegExp Export/Import, then click on the number of the needed preset from the # column, edit it and click on the OK button.
The former Save button now has three different states, depending of modifications inside of the RegExp Find and Replace dialog box:
1. Rename - if you change the preset name only and leave preset parameters unchanged;
2. Update - if you change some parameter (e.g. Description) and leave the preset name unchanged;
3. Add - if you change both the preset name and some parameter. - Q - Is there a way to remove the toolbar buttons for "Increment Playcount" and "Decrement Playcount" on the toolbar? I don't use them and they just take up space.
- A - Mentioned two presets have toolbar buttons just as an example (similar as the "Move prefixes ..." which have added keyboard Shortcut as an example). You could turn on/off toolbar buttons for any of the preset by checking on/off the Toolbar button option in the Find & Replace dialog box. So, if you want to remove those two initially installed toolbar buttons from the toolbar:
1. Open the RegExp Find and Replace dialog box;
2. from the Preset dropdown list choose the preset "Increment Play counter by 1";
3. turn off the Toolbar button check box;
4. click on the Update button;
5. from the Preset dropdown list choose the preset "Decrement Play counter by 1";
6. same as 3;
7. same as 4.
The another possibility to remove the preset toolbar buttons is to turn off the option "Show toolbar buttons for presets with enabled button in Find & Replace dialog box" in the Options dialog box.
This add-on could work only with one destination field (specified with the Into dropdown list). If you want a manipulation with several fields, you could try to do this with several steps (presets) or you should use some another add-on, e.g. ExtractFields.
There are some regular expressions which don't work correctly with Unicode characters, for example RegExp with \w, \W, \b, \B. This is because RegExp engine built in VBScript doesn't treat Unicode characters as letters. One solution is to use character range, so instead of \w you could write e.g. [\w\u0400-\u04FF] for Cyrillic or [\w\u0100-\u024F] for extended Latin.
Information about 4.0 version:
The main addition of this version which needs some more explanation is the possibility to get dialog boxes whenever you click on some preset in the menu or toolbar if it is modified adequately. Usage of those dialog boxes is much simpler for use than the RegExp Find & Replace dialog box which has many controls that are confusing for beginners. Now you could choose, for example, Edit/Tag Manipulation Presets/Copy <From Field> to <Into Field>... and you would get the dialog box with just two dropdown lists for choosing the source and the destination fields. The number of displayed controls depends of that how the preset is modified, which will be explained further.
If you specify <Into Field> in the name of some preset, you would get the dialog box with one dropdown list from which you could choose the destination field after you click on that preset in menu. Similarly, if you specify <From Field> in the name of preset, you would get the dialog box with the dropdown list for choosing the source field. Of course, if you specify both <Into Field> and <From Field> in the name of the preset, you would get the dialog box with both dropdown lists. For example, the included preset "Copy <From Field> to <Into Field>..." displays both lists.
If you specify custom arguments inside of the Find what and Replace with strings using the <String Caption="xxx" Value="yyy"> tag, you would get the preset dialog box with the text box in which you could write some string and that string would be entered into same place in the Find what/Replace with string where you have put that <String> tag. Also, if you specify the <Number Caption="xxx" Value="yyy"> tag, you would get the preset dialog box with the spinedit control for choosing the numeric value. For example, if you write <Number Caption="Increment" Value="10"> instead of 10 in some preset, you would get the dialog box which allows adjusting of that numeric value.
The Value parameter is mandatory for those two tags. The Caption parameter allows you to specify descriptive text which would be displayed next to the control. It is not necessary to be specified, but it would be better for understanding of such preset if you use it. The <Number> tag additionally allows to specify two optional parameters: MinValue and MaxValue, the first one is for specifying minimal value which could be entered with spinedit control, and the second one is for the maximal value. If you omit those parameters, the default values are -1000 and 1000 correspondingly.
You could specify as many <String> and <Number> tags in the Find what and Replace with string as you want, and you would get the adequate number of controls within the preset dialog box. Of course, those controls would be displayed together with the source and the destination dropdown lists if you have <From Field> and/or <Into Field> in the name of the same preset. For example, the included preset "Replace specified string with another one in <Into Field>..." has the dialog box with the destination dropdown list and two text box controls - the first one is for specifying the string which would be replaced and the another one is for specifying the replacement string.
Many of included presets are modified to support that new functionality, and if you are already using some old version of this add-on, it is strongly recommended to remove all your presets from the .ini file before installing the new version. However, before that you should make a backup of your own created presets and after the installation, you could import them back.
Note: MediaMonkey has a bug with spinedit control, because of which you should not use keyboard to enter number value, but you could use up/down buttons of that control to modify that value. This bug will be fixed with MM v4.0.
Information about 3.0 version:
Beside of a possibility to export/import presets, main improvement is a new option to add/remove any preset to the toolbar as a new button. So, you could define as much toolbar buttons as they could fit on the window. Toolbar buttons with presets could display a textual caption or an icon. The caption with a name of the preset could be trimmed to the specified number of characters (Options dialog) and icon could be loaded from an external .ico file or some internal MM one (icons takes much less space than captions). You could assign an icon to some preset in the RegExp Find and Replace dialog choosing it from the Icon dropdown list. The external .ico file could be specified after click on the same dropdown control when the mouse has the pointer with the hand.
There is a separate RegExp-ID3_Genres-Sorted.ini file with 148 new presets which allow to assign specific genre to multi-item Genre field. Import of mentioned .ini file with genres is through RegExp Export/Import dialog box, but if you want to use it, before its import it could be better to first remove initially installed presets (you could always get them back with the import of the RegExpReplace.ini file). After that you should choose which presets/genres you want to show in the toolbar, because there are many of them. Adding/removing some preset to/from the toolbar should be done in the RegExp Find and Replace dialog box - you should select a needed preset from the Preset dropdown list, then turn on/off the Toolbar button check box and click on the Save button to remember that modification.
Now, with just a single click on the toolbar button you could assign a genre to all selected/visible tracks. There is also one more preset which removes last added genre from each track. With the new version you have a possibility to modify tracks not only in the main tracklist, but also in the Now Playing panel. Of course, instead of the genre you could assign some text to every other field after creating/modifying some preset.
This version has the changed format of presets stored in the .ini file. During installation you will be prompted if you want to convert your old presets to the new format. This is just a prevention from some specific situations, but in most cases you should choose Yes. After that you will be prompted if you want to add new sample presets. There are many new presets and many of the old presets are updated/improved. Because the add-on during installation checks only if the old preset names matches with new ones, maybe it would be better if you first uninstall old version of the add-on and when you get a dialog box with a question if you want to remove all settings, you should choose Yes. In such way you should have only new, improved presets after installation.
However, if you already have your own created presets, you should forget about this suggestion - just start installation and when you get a question if you want to add new sample presets you should choose No. After that you should open Edit / RegExp Export/Import dialog box, manually remove all old supplied presets (leave only your own presets) and after click on the File option you should specify RegExpReplace.ini file for the import. Sorry for inconvenience, but there is not any easier way if you want to get new improved presets (those which existed before) and to keep your own ones.
Information about 2.x version:
Old Examples section is removed from this post because the new version of the add-on has all this examples incorporated into RegExp dialog box in the form of presets. You could define, save or delete existing presets. You could start execution of some preset directly from the menu or from the toolbar, but also with a press on user-defined shortcut key.
