[Solved] Overwrite the date and time in the file name
Hi, I'm saving a file from a buffer~ to disk by appending the date and time to the file name.
The problem is that if I save a file that already has a date & time, they will be duplicated (date and time).
For example:
Input: sample_name.wav
1st write: sample_name [yyyy-mm=dd hhmmss].wav
2nd: sample_name [yyyy-mm=dd hhmmss] [yyyy-mm=dd hhmmss].wav
I need help creating a regexp expression to remove the contents of the square brackets "[]" before the last dot ",wav" in the title. Like: sample_name [yyyy-mm=dd hhmmss].wav
You don't need regexp
and don't need to append date but set it.
if you need to read and then rewrite time stamp
Based on your name and time stamp format.
I mean name is one word without spaces
Source Audio, Thanks a lot! I appreciate your help!
Source Audio, It seems I still need regexp, since I use samples whose names can be of different lengths, with or without a note and tempo tag, like: Sample_Name (F#) [128 bpm].
Solved!

Then you go with regexp.
better would be to avoid spaces in sample names
and only separate time stamp.
