I need to try and sort this out by the weekend, so any help appreciated.
I have hundreds of thousands of flac files from cds i have ripped
some have the time at the end of the name like this (03.45)
some have the time at the end of the name like this (3.45) with no leading (0
some have no time what so ever at the end of the name
i am trying to find the ones that have no time at the end of the name
Is there a easy way to achieve this , it will save me a lot of time.
Not contain
Re: Not contain
Please try the following search:
*.flac !regex:\(\d+\.\d+\)\.flac$
*.flac = match flac files only.
! = NOT
regex: = enable regular expressions.
\( = match a single literal (
\d+ = match 1 or more digits (0-9)
\. = match a single literal .
\d+ = match 1 or more digits (0-9)
\) = match a single literal )
\. = match a single literal .
flac$ = match the extension and end of the filename.
edit:
To find the folders containing the files without the length:
child:*.flac !regex:child:\(\d+\.\d+\)\.flac$
*.flac !regex:\(\d+\.\d+\)\.flac$
*.flac = match flac files only.
! = NOT
regex: = enable regular expressions.
\( = match a single literal (
\d+ = match 1 or more digits (0-9)
\. = match a single literal .
\d+ = match 1 or more digits (0-9)
\) = match a single literal )
\. = match a single literal .
flac$ = match the extension and end of the filename.
