Mass Changing of URLs

Cojun · Post by **Cojun** » 2009-08-21 10:11:31

Hey,

i change to a new Fileserver and each movie in my Ant Movie Catalog should become a new URL.
Is there a way to mass change the URLs in AMC in one run like regexp or so?

Example:

if URL contains \\192.168.0.219 change it to \\192.168.0.218

Thank you

Daniel

You can use a little script to do this:

Code: Select all

program ReplaceString;
const
  oldValue = '192.168.0.219';
  newValue = '192.168.0.218';
var
  value: string;
begin
  value := GetField(fieldURL);
  value := StringReplace(value, oldValue, newValue);
  SetField(fieldURL, value);
end.

Hey ...
Thank you very much for the fast answer.

Thank you very much

Go to Tools -> Scripting, be sure that "movies to include" is set to "all" (or "selected" if you have first selected which movie you want to modify)
Then in the toolbar click "Editor" and the "new" icon.
Paste the script, click Run.

Heya,

sounds simple.
Will test it when the transfer from the old machine to the new one is finised and will keep you updated.

Thanks for the great support. Its then time for a PayPal-Donation.

Thank you again
