Hi all,
I have numerous files with filenames as follows:
1989 Feb 3 Name.mp3
2000 Oct 12 Name.mp3
…
How can I do batch conversion of the filenames to the following format:
1989-02-03 Name.mp3
2000-10-12 Name.mp3
…
In other words to change months and days with two digit number.
regards,
Pavlos

You can start with "Convert \> Tag - filename"
String:
$replace(%\_filename%, Feb ,-02-, Oct ,-10-)
You must add the other months by yourself.
