I am looking to pull numbers in the title of a song-show and add it to the date of the song-show. I have tried to create my own from the preset "Copy <From Field> to <Into Field>..." but have not had any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What I have in the title.
Title: Song-Show Name YYYY MM DD

What I want to add to the songs date info.
Date MM/DD/YYYY

preset: Copy <From Field> to <Into Field>...
Find what:
Into: Date
Replace with:
From: Title

I would also like to make the track number from the title.

What I have in the title.
Title: Song-Show Name YYYY MM DD

What I want to add to the songs date info.
Track# YYYYMMDD

In bulk rename utility I use regex settings but I am not sure that will work here.
Match: (\d\d\d\d) (\d\d) (\d\d)
Replace \2\3\1

You want to:
1.copy the date part of the title and put it into the date field
as MM/DD/YYYY format? Or, just change the date format in the title?

2. ADD the track# to the front of the date field (can't do this)? Or, just add it to the front of the date info in the title?

Can you provide real examples of the final results of what you want?

Hey, how's it going for you???
I love this plugin and have been using it for an ass load of years.
Thanks for keeping it going!
Now for the ask.... What preset would be best or can you make a preset that recognizes the key listed in the title and copy that into a field of choice?
An example would be: Concerto Grosso In E flat major Op.7`6 (Il Pianto D'Arianna)
I'd prefer if it could translate to the Camelot Wheel. For instance E flat Major would be 5B
The keys can be in different places in the title.

Thank you for your help.

So, you want only the key to be copied to another field?
Title: E flat major Op.7`6 (Il Pianto D'Arianna)
some other field: E flat major

So, you want the Camelot version of the key to be included somewhere in the title without having to copy it to another field?
You say "keys", can be in different places, in title, which indicates you want both versions in the title, right?
Something like:
Title: E flat major_5B Op.7`6 (Il Pianto D'Arianna)
or
Title: E flat major Op.7`6 (Il Pianto D'Arianna) 5B
[easiest]

OR

Title: E flat major Op.7`6 (Il Pianto D'Arianna) 5B
some other field: E flat major

The last modified property of files is called Timestamp in MM and RFR. However, I am not sure if that field is automatically updated in the MM database if you change files outside of MM

Yes i figured it out myself, that "Timestamp" ist what RegEx/ MM recognize as "Last Modified". How I stated in my other Thread:

Archiv-Cowboy wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 11:57 am Problem ist partly solved "Timestamp" is what RegEXP recognize as "Last Modified". I can simply copy it in each value field I want. But there is still the problem, that the timestamp takes not only the but the exact time, so I can't copy it directly in the date value field, because this doesn't support time.

So first of all I auto-copy the timestamp in the comment-field. If I can't find another solution, I think I have to copy it per hand from comment into the date field. But this is better than before.

The Problem is still, that I can't copy the raw Timestamp-Value in the Date-Value-Field, because it can't process Time-Data only the Date.

especially @MMFrLife

The "Timestamp"-Value consists for example of "27.07.2019 13:44" (date and exact time) because i doesn't know that timestamp is a technical term in our context I used it to refer to the exact time and "Last Modified" for the whole. To clear this up.


I meant: I want to copy from the Timestamp-Value only the Date-part into the Date-Value of a file. For example:

(I already copied theTimestamps of some of my files into the comment-section because I failed to copy them directly into the date field.)

The last modified property of files is called Timestamp in MM and RFR. However, I am not sure if that field is automatically updated in the MM database if you change files outside of MM.

It is but that's not a problem, cause most of them still have the timestamp from the moment, they were created because I didn't edited, only copied them since.

That's why I have to transfer this information first, before I can rename them or add information and stuff.

Into: Date
RegEx1: on
Replace with: DateISO(<From Field>)
From: Timestamp
VBScript: on

Ahh thank you for your PM. I had over read it. I tried it and actually it did done, what i wanted. Thank you very much for the help!

lets say the file is called "joe rogan show 2021_07_31.mp3" Song-Show Name YYYY_MM_DD.mp3

I want to take the date that is in the end and create two things with it. I want to create the track number as 20210731 and I want to create the date as 07/31/2021

Just to let you know that, as of today, the latest security update to Windows Defender automatically disables this add-on as "malicious" (identifying it as a "severe" threat of "Trojan:O97M/Mountsi.D!ml") every time MM is run. Am I correct in assuming that the only known fix is to disable Defender every time one needs to use Media Monkey?

So, you want only the key to be copied to another field?
Title: E flat major Op.7`6 (Il Pianto D'Arianna)
some other field: E flat major

Yes.

So, you want the Camelot version of the key to be included somewhere in the title without having to copy it to another field?

No, the Camelot version should take the place of the key
Title: E flat major Op.7`6 (Il Pianto D'Arianna)
some other field: E flat major or 5B

You say "keys", can be in different places, in title, which indicates you want both versions in the title, right?

No, i was saying in the original title of the song the key can be in the front, middle or end. its not in a set position.
Title: E flat major Op.7`6 (Il Pianto D'Arianna)
Title: Op.7`6 in E flat major (Il Pianto D'Arianna)
Title: Op.7`6 (Il Pianto D'Arianna) E flat major

Thanks and sorry about ghosting.

Thank you,

If RegExp Find & Replace would be ported to MM5 then you will have direct access to INITIAL KEY (MM5 support Camelot) and it would contain 5B.

That would be nice but it's not the most important part. If there's a way to move the "E flat Major" to a field of my choice I'd be more than happy with that.

It seems this is related to the "Potentially unwanted apps" settings that are changed in the August update:

I don't have Win 10 and cannot test it, but Windows Defender in Win 7 has an option to disable scanning of specified files/folders.

RegExp Find & Replace and Magic Nodes already had the problem with Windows Defender, which you could find if you search this thread. I am sick and tired of these quasi-programmers working on such "security" programs that cannot write a proper code for malware detection.

If I was paid as you are, then...

It is also available in Win 10 here:

1000% agree, it is even harder to explain people that only good anti-virus is Hardware (software to some extend) firewall and good setup of LAN/WLAN infrastructure (to get that you need not the cheapest equipment and invested time to set them up).
Zvezdan I hope you agree that 99.99% active viruses need to be online in order to function properly and no.1 reason for viruses on the PCs is non reading and just clicking on NEXT/YES/I AGREE/ACCEPT.

1000% agree. Which is why I am very suspicious to any program that want to access the Internet, even after I disable all related options in it.
