Hi!
First, thank you for this very helpful software.

Here my problem:
I want to trim a file name very strong.
For example:
Dmitri Gluchowski - Metro 2033.rar
Result: DG-M2033.rar
Or another example:
Adam Nevill - Im tiefen Wald.rar
Result: AN-ItW.rar

In other words trim every white space and shorten every word to one single letter, but leaving numbers alone.

Is this somehow possible?

Thanks

Hi,
If possible, it would be with Regular Expressions.
I don't know these expressions enough to provide a definitive answer (even if I use them often) - there may be a way but I'm not sure how.

Maybe i have th re-think the problem.
Another way could be, that i use the change case process and make every word starting with upper case. And then trim every lower case and white space.
For example:
Das Ist Ein Test - Test 2000.part1.rar
Resulting:
DIET-T2000.part1.rar

My problem is, that i really don't understand how this regex stuff works.

That will work if you use the regex
[a-z\s]
replaced by an empty string as new name template
However it will also strip the extension if it is itself in lowercase; so maybe first put the extension in uppercase (including "partN" of the rar)
