Need help with expression...
« on: June 11, 2013, 02:02:15 pm »

I want to automatically rename the music files in my library so that they are named after track# and title like this: "01 Song Title.m4a".
I want to zero pad any track number that is between 1-9, and if the track number has no value I want the track to be named after the title only: "Song Title.m4a".

The expression I've composed looks like this but doesn't work:
If(IsEmpty([Track #]),,padnumber([track #] ,2)[Name])

Help!

Maybe I misunderstand something but why don't you do that with the rename tool?

That's what I'm doing, and the expression is for the filename rule field.

Try this magic:

   Delimit([track #],/ ,)[Name]
