to bring this back to BBEdit, here is another „BBEdit only“ solution: 1. Create a new Unix Worksheet 2. type cd and drag your music folder after it, giving you something like cd '~/path/to folder' (add the quotation marks manually if you have spaces in the file path 3. hint <Enter> (the <Return on the number block) 4. Now type „ls“ and <Enter> again. 5 Search-replace ^(.+) - (.+) and replacing it with mv '&' '\2 - \1' 6. Mark the lines with your folders and <Enter> again
That’s it. But, please test this on example data before breaking something (backups are your friend) Enjoy, Roland On Thu, Aug 31, 2017 at 4:27 PM, Vlad Ghitulescu <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks, Rich - I didn't even think about this alternative. > > But: I needed a RegEx to put it in A Better Finder Rename (or an > AppleScript for renaming the files).
