Rename with duplicated serial numbers

JohnnySH · 2011-06-22 16:20

Hello

I have a complete directory of files that I need to add a serial number, but I would like it to step by 2 before it increments to the next sequential number. like below

They are like this...

SF300-Aggro Santos & Kimberly Walsh - Like U Like.cdg
SF300-Aggro Santos & Kimberly Walsh - Like U Like.mpe

SF300-B.O.B - I'll Be In The Sky.cdg
SF300-B.O.B - I'll Be In The Sky.mp3

I would like them to be like this...

SF300-01 - Aggro Santos & Kimberly Walsh - Like U Like.cdg
SF300-01 - Aggro Santos & Kimberly Walsh - Like U Like.mpe

SF300-02 - B.O.B - I'll Be In The Sky.cdg
SF300-02 - B.O.B - I'll Be In The Sky.mp3

and so on to the end...

Please can you advise how to do this in renamer

Thank you

This will probably will need from PascalScript.

But, from the names you have, have you thought the method to insert the number in that place?
I mean, is not the same if you always have "SF300-" at the begining, or it does change for the rest of names.
The number could be inserted in a fixed position (e.g.: position: 7), or for example, after the first dash.

I've been doing karaoke on a computer for 10 years now.
Don't know if Renamer will number as you want without doing the mp3's & cdg's seperatly, but the way i would handle that is download down load MP3+G Toolz (free program) & use that to turn them into zips.

Then use Renamer to serialize the sequential numbers using position, then insert the "( - )". After renaming them use MP3+G Toolz to extract & both files will be renamed as you want them.

MP3+G Toolz is a must for karaoke on a computer. It will rename from numbers off the internet, clean file names & more with a simple right-click on the ciontaining folder.
If you need help in other areas with your show, feel free to email me

This will give you the numbers, but not positioned. If this isn't useful I'll need you to answer my previous question.

const
  Repetitions = 2; // Number of repetitions.

var
  Num, Rep: Integer;

begin
  Rep := Rep + 1; // Current repetitions.

  {Check if needs to update/add.}
  If (Rep>Repetitions) then
  begin
    Rep := 1; // Restart repetitions.
    Num := Num + 1; // Serialization.
  end;
  
  {Write the number in front of the name.}
  FileName := IntToStr(Num) + FileName;
end.

thank you to everyone, appreciated

Thanks again

Under the serialise option in Renamer, it would be great to have a skip option that you could adjust (offset) so that it would do this task before incrementing the next number.

Just a thought for a future upgrade

For the reference: "Repeat" option was added to the Incremental Serialize rule.
