[trimfirstfolder]

[svetter]

Hi - I am looking to export to a new directory, preserving the path\filename, but stripping the first three directories.

i.e. looking to use the following:
[TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][origpath]


I am exporting from:
C:\Users\Stephen\Music\Artist\Album\tracks

looking to create
C:\Users\Stephen\Music for BlackBerry\Artist\Album\tracks

if I insert a third [TRIMFIRSTFOLDER] Batch Converter creates
C:\Users\Stephen\Music for BlackBerry\[TRIMFIRSTFOLDER]Music\Artist\Album\tracks


Following
[TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][TRIMFIRSTFOLDER][origpath]
creates
C:\Users\Stephen\Music for BlackBerry\Music\Artist\Album\tracks


Yes, I can manually move the generated artist folders up one level, but really should be able to string multiple instances of [TRIMFIRSTFOLDER] into the commend.


Thanks,

[Oggy]

Hi svetter,

Try [trimfirstfolder][trimfirstfolder][trimfirstfolder][origpath]\[origfilename][][][]

One [] for each [trimfirstfolder]

Hi Oggy - Thanks - doesn't quite follow the syntax published, but it worked.

Cheers, Stephen

I've just had a look here dBpoweramp Naming, which shows the correct syntax, [TRIMFIRSTFOLDER]string[].

Where are you seeing the incorrect syntax?

Re: [trimfirstfolder]

The empty pair of brackets "[]" terminate the argument of and the function itself. That helps the parser.
