Shorten names, Strip Space and Capitalize Next

Here's a good one I could not figure out.

I have an mp3 car deck and it only displays 12 characters or so. So I wanted to change something like

Happy to Meet.mp3

with HappyToMeet.mp3 to conserve space.

So how do I change space-letter to nospace-capitalletter?

Even better would be a smart algorithm that would take a given sentence and shink it as best as possible to a specified length, but that sounds more AI involved...

So it would get changed to something like this if you specified 12.

Hapy2Meet.mp3

Re: Shorten names, Strip Space and Capitalize Next

FROM:
Happy to Meet.mp3
TO:
HappyToMeet.mp3

DO two rules:
1. add an Case rule and Capitalise Every Word
2. add an Remove rule to remove blanks

Then click at the Preview button to see if it works.

Furthermore you could do something like this:

FROM:
Happy to Meet featuring Matty (bar remix).mp3

TO:
Hapy2MetFeatMaty(BarRmx).mp3

DO:
1) RegEx: Replace expression "(.)\1" with "$1" (skip extension) //To Remove Doubled Chars: 'pp' > 'p'
2) Replace: Replace all "Featuring" with "feat", "Remix" with "RMX", "to" with "2" (skip extension)
3) Case: Capitalize every word (skip extension)
4) Remove: Remove all " " (skip extension)

I hope you get the idea?

For converting from "HappyToMeet.mp3" to "Happy to Meet.mp3" you can use CleanUp rule with "Insert space in front of capitals" option.

Yes I get the idea. Thanks a lot.

That will help a great deal. I'll do most of what you suggest and then finish with a truncation rule.

When you have so many options to apply its amazing how many ways you can accomplish what you want.

Great program Den4b!
