Editing file names

[n00blike001]

I have a lot of mp3s with all lower or upper case letters. I want to have them in this format "Name Of Artist - Title Of Song" could C++ do something like this?

I took the intro C++ and did the copy file program.

how would i code it so it makes the first letter of every word a capitol and keep all others lower case?

Would you use C++ or another language?

Im running win XP

thanks!

I would immediately think of perl for your problem. It has great flexibility in handling strings. You also have the MP3::Tag library which would essentially allow you to read and write tags to your mp3 files.

does Perl handle unicode?

Right, n00blike001 goodluck with UCI it's a PITA

after talking to some more computer ppl i found a program that does this already!

Its called batchrename

i just ran a test here on my comp at work and worked awsome!

Who ever needs to rename there mp3s or other files this is the way to do it!

This program works buy rules. Here is how i got mine looking right.
1. all lower case
2. Cap. first letter of ever word. <= prebuilt (they have popular rules)

only glitch i found was that if you have numbers in a word it thinks the next letter is a new word.
i.e.
w00t => W00T

@DJMaze - perl does support unicode via pragmas. To set the local encoding to be UTF8 for example you can place the line 'use utf8;' in your script.

Ah ok, because filenames on XP are UTF-16 Little Endian.
