    [trimfirstfolder]

    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,

    Thanks,
    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?

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