Flip Newbie     Posts: 8 Find and Replace on: Jul 3rd, 2007, 2:23pm Quote | Modify Could it be possible for the future to make something as a 'Find and Replace' tool? (Like in Word) For instance: I collect Beethoven piano sonatas, if I scan the files on my HD, they sometimes are called Sonata, or Piano Sonata, or Klaviersonate. But I want them all named in the same way, for instance Klaviersonate, because than I can easily sort them. It also happens with the number of the sonatas, Nr. No. N-. etc. Now I am changing everything by hand, but I think I need to come back after death to finish this project... But it could maybe also useful for non Sonata collectors... Or maybe there is a trick I did not discovered yet as newbe...   Thanks in Advance. IP Logged

There's a very powerful concept called regular expressions that's easy to build into software, and it would easily handle all these kind of issues, but it has steep learning curve and is way too powerful for average OrangeCD user... I really need to come up with some simpler approach, that's why I need more examples.   Andrei IP Logged Upload your music catalog to Racks and Tags and get free unlimited collection storage - offer ending SOON!
