N.A.N.Y. 2019 / Re: NANY 2019 Release: SCURLed
« on: February 18, 2022, 01:47 PM »
Not sure if this is a bug due to Windows updates...

I loaded a URL link.

https://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0020678/

Run search and replace "akas" to "www"

Applied changes to list and the list updates.

Click Save all changes, but link still shows its original akas destination. And no change has been made.


When looking at the properties in Windows Explorer "Link Target" and "URL" still show as "akas"

I have also tried single edit which also failed.

One feature that seems to be missing is an option to clear the list.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: URL link updater
« on: February 18, 2022, 04:56 AM »
I have in the past created local URL shortcuts to IMDB for some of the old movies I enjoy.

I would like to update them as newer links are in a slightly different format, which has become a bigger issue when you find some of those older titles were used in more than one year.

For example

The actual URL remains the same, but the descriptive has changed

Roll on Texas Moon - IMDb
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038889/

is now

Roll on Texas Moon (1946) - IMDb
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038889/

I haven't found anything through a google search.

Ideally any util must handle bulk from different folders.
Preferably drag and drop.

Though saying that what issue would there really be in updating a new format to a new format. :)

I guess the util would go to the existing destination
Delete existing link
Create new link from destination.

Or just update the existing link.

Thanks in advance

Hi Jody.

I simplified my pattern and did a quick test, just in case it was something in the long path I had.

Screenshot_20220117_04_19-Entry.jpg

Simulation result

E:\TEST\start\Groupname - Filename.txt --> E:\TEST\finish\Groupname\??1 \Groupname - Filename.txt

The end result should have been

E:\TEST\start\Groupname - Filename.txt --> E:\TEST\finish\Groupname\Groupname\Groupname - Filename.txt

Obviously this is a stripped down version of what I am trying to do. 

Curiously there is a space after the "??1 " in the simulation.

Is it possible to re-use the output variables?

Such as Destination like

....\??1\??1 ??2
