I recently purchased, ripped, and almost finished transcoding the entire series of Friends. I’m currently in the process of converting subtitles with Subtitle Edit. I’d like to save myself a bit of work by taking the last 13-14 characters off the ends of the file names.
For example, I’d like to take track13[spa] off of the following filename: 03x10 - The One Where Rachel Quits_track13_[spa].sup
Or is this not possible with Nautilus?
This is something I’d probably do with a shell script. You can do it in a few intermediate stages. I’d start with putting together a script to dump the filenames to a text file and then some sed and awk to process that down to the final names. You could basically write a script to generate a script that you could inspect to see if it was correct before running it.
