Remove Initial Blanks in the Title

[arcspin]

Hey all,
I have noticed that I have a fair amount of song where the title starts with a blank.

I was woundering if you have a nice little script that delites the first blank letter in the title ???


Cheers,

This will remove all leading and trailing spaces from the titles of the currently selected songs
Depending on how many songs you run it, it will take some time

here it is

Code: Select all

'==========================================================================
' Save this file as removeBlanks.vbs in your scripts folder.
' Add the following lines to scripts.ini (without the ')
'
'[RemoveBlanks]
'FileName=RemoveBlanks.vbs
'ProcName=RemoveBlanks
'DisplayName=Remove Blanks from Title
'Order=1
'Language=VBScript
'ScriptType=0
'
'==========================================================================


Sub RemoveBlanks
  ' Define variables
  Dim list, itm, i, OriginalTitle, NewTitle

  ' Get list of selected tracks from MediaMonkey
  Set list = SDB.CurrentSongList

  ' Process all selected tracks
  For i=0 To list.count-1
    Set itm = list.Item(i)
	OriginalTitle = itm.Title
	NewTitle = Trim(OriginalTitle)

	itm.Title = NewTitle
  Next
  ' Write all back to DB and update tags
  list.UpdateAll
End Sub

Hope this helps

Could you be so kind as to tell me how to remove characters (from the start) of the file? (if it's also in your tags obviously, else i could've simply overwritten them)

I'm sure it's simple, but in the help files it's always about KEEPING a number of characters from the left, or inate keeping a FIXED number of characters from the right, both which are not an option. (and although i could've probably removed it by hand with all the time i wasted looking in all the wrong places, it's the principal of not fixing about 75 files by hand if it can be automated )
