Topic: How to change the case on a part of name only
FROM:
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody.flv
Snap - Cult of Snap.mp3
Technotronic - Megamix.mp3
TO:
QUEEN - Bohemian Rhapsody.flv
SNAP - Cult of Snap.mp3
TECHNOTRONIC - Megamix.mp3
USE:
%ub[1] - %b[2].%e
EXPLANATION:
%b : the "base" name
[1] and [2] : substring of name, split at given separator
%ub : all characters upper case, here of the "base" name
%e : the name extension
So
%ub[1] gives you the first substring of name, split at separator, and put all characters into upper case.
"- " is Space-Hyphen-Space manually inserted by you.
%b[2] gives you the second substring of name, split at given separator.
%e gives you the name extension.
Detailed explanation:
Every variable can be postfixed by a "[]" modifier.
It will be split into an array of substrings following the
specified separator characters.
The usage is: "[ i, "s" ]"
i : number of the substring to extract.
If negative, the extraction is done from the end.
If "0" (zero), it's equivalent to the complete string
without the beginning and ending spaces.
s : list of separator characters, optional.
If it is not specified, the list defined in
"Options/Modifications" is used.
I have set "File > Options/Modifications > Array elements separator" to " - "
You can put one or more character modifiers just after the "%":
@ : accented characters to standard ASCII
('é' to 'e', 'ü' to 'u', 'Á' to 'A' ...).
u : all characters upper case.
l : all characters lower case.
U : first character of each word upper case, the others
lower case. The words are separated by the characters
specified in "Options/Modifications".
L : first character uppercase, the rest lowercase.
