Getting rid of the underscore

Post by KiltedShane » Thu Dec 18, 2014 2:52 pm

the discussion in http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic ... 901#p36901 made me think about throwing something out there ...

I use Métamorphose, a batch renamer, to deal with "_" and the _t02, _t03_ t04 ... in my rips.
http://file-folder-ren.sourceforge.net/

Métamorphose can do a simple replace to make "_" into " ". I actually use it the other way to find space and replace with underscore in folder/file names. A lot of folks use "." instead of spaces, it would do that replacement just as easily.

I do a lot of TV episodes and you end up with something like this

"D:\Video\MakeMKV\Doctor_Who\Season_06\Doctor_Who_-_S06E01_-_The_Dominators_(1)_-_1968-08-10_t02.mkv"
"D:\Video\MakeMKV\Doctor_Who\Season_06\Doctor_Who_-_S06E02_-_The_Dominators_(2)_-_1968-08-17_t03.mkv"
"D:\Video\MakeMKV\Doctor_Who\Season_06\Doctor_Who_-_S06E03_-_The_Dominators_(3)_-_1968-08-24_t04.mkv"
"D:\Video\MakeMKV\Doctor_Who\Season_06\Doctor_Who_-_S06E04_-_The_Dominators_(4)_-_1968-08-31_t05.mkv"
"D:\Video\MakeMKV\Doctor_Who\Season_06\Doctor_Who_-_S06E05_-_The_Dominators_(5)_-_1968-09-07_t06.mkv"

I used it to whack 4 characters off of the end of each file and clip each file down to what I want.

If you point it at a folder it will rename all of the files and folders in the target, but it will not rename subfolders or files in folders. You can tell it to "walk" a folder tree and it will rename all of the files in the tree, but it will not rename the folders in the tree.
