RegExp Find & Replace 4.3 w/ 253 presets (2011-07-06) [MM2+]

[CarlitoGil]

Have you thought about adding a replace/replacement token which values come from opening a dialog window with an input box each time the preset is called?


When changing the path field so that the files move to another folder can the dialog asking to move the accompanying files be left for the end of the operation? I'm guessing it's the way MM handles it, so I think they'll really listen if you'll ask.

Yes, but I am not sure when I would add such thing. It could be even more valuable within Find & Replace dialog box, especially for novices, because it is much easier to adjust e.g. some numerical value with spin box than modifying some complex and hard to understand regular expression. For example, with the Remove any six characters from the end of the Album preset, instead of ".{6}$" I could write something like ".{<Param>}$" and add one new spin box to adjust that value instead to modify the "6" value manually in the Find what box. Another example, with the Add " (Live)" to the end of the Title, instead of the "$1 (Live)" I could write "$1 (<Param>)" and add one new edit box where users could directly type the text which they want to add to the field. However, there are presets which have two or more parameters like Remove specified number of characters from the middle of the Title where we have "^(.{5}).{2}" with two numerical values. There are also some presets which have list of values like the Remove featuring artists from the end of the Title, with the expression "\s*([\(|\[].*)?(?:ft\.|feat\.|featuring|vs\.|versus|pres\.|presents)\s.+[\)|\]]?$", so I should add a new list box for such values together with buttons to add/remove items from it. Well, this could be all nice to see, but it would end with significant changes of dialog GUI which I try to avoid.

Unfortunately, I don't think they are listening my suggestions.

I don't understand much what exactly is required here and what we will not hear?

[ZvezdanD]

It would be the best if you install this script and try to move some files to another location by yourself using e.g. the "Move files to <Genre>\<Artist>\<Album>\<Track#> - <Title>.ext" preset. If you have some additional files beside of audio files in the same folder, e.g. album arts or even .html files or anything else, MM displays dialog box asking if you want to move such files together with audio files when the folder is emptied. This is nice, but it displays such dialog after each emptied folder, and if you have selected bunch of files from several folders you would get same dialog box several times which could be really tedious.

Can i remove the Increment & Decrement buttons from the toolbar - I rarely use them & they take up a fair bit of space on the toolbar.

While I find this script both very useful and powerful, I would also believe it would be nice to remove the two buttons and free up some space.

Hi!
Thanks for a nice script. I need help to config some scripts I need, and hope someone can help me
1. Capitalize every word in artist and album, exept words like ft, feat. vs, and capitalize ONLY the first word in the tittle.
2. Lowercase words like Singel, Edit, Remix, Mix

As usual the answer was right in front of me. I'm going to make the change right now.

Thanks for the help and for making some excellent scripts.

1. Capitalize every word in artist and album, exept words like ft, feat. vs, and capitalize ONLY the first word in the tittle.

Did you try the "Capitalize the Title with exceptions" preset or maybe "Uppercase the first letter of each line or sentence of the Lyrics and lowercase others" preset? Of course, you should change Lyrics to the wanted field with the Into drop-down list.

2. Lowercase words like Singel, Edit, Remix, Mix

You could try with following settings:
Find what:

Code: Select all

\b(Single|Edit|Remix|Mix)\b

Regular expression 1: checked
Replace with:

Code: Select all

LCase("$1")

VBScript expression: checked

Thanks ZvezdanD - I mostly use your very handy presets so i rarely look at the Dialog box.

okay with your script how does it differ from bexs Add/Remove PlayStat 1.2.1 (2008-12-20) [MM3] script.

what i am in need of is a simple script like the one i use from diddeleedoo that just changes the playcount in the list view area screen display and will be able to run by a task job in the windows task scheduler.

but his is for mm 2 i don't need to touch the playcount in the tables of the database that is not displayed on the screen for us to see. as they are not used with the autoplaylists in mm 2, i believe they are the same with mm 3.

so is your script simple like that or do i have to go in and make option changes each time to get it to change the count i want on all the songs. at once.

[ZvezdanD]

No, this script is not simple like that. You don't need to change options every time since you could save them as a preset, but you need to select tracks which you want to modify, because it is not working on entire database (at least not currently).

thanks

Hi Zvezdand:

A few beta's back there was a problem that caused the lyrics to be truncated. Since then I have been fixing them as I found them but I would like to fix them all now while I am between massive updates. But I do not know of a way to identify all the affected tracks. Is there a way for RegEx to find tracks that have lyrics greater than 1 line but less than 10? I looked through the presets but I do not see one I can change to meet my needs, maybe I missed it??
