Regex - Standardize TV/Movie names

[FunkyBuddha]

I removed parts of the filenames so that source metadata searches could find content. Here are some basic regex to get you started:

 

Input: [Release Group] Movie Name (1080).mkv
Output: Movie Name (1080).mkv

Use Trim Function (Removes Release Group): 			^\[(.+?)\]
Use Remove Function (Removes Trailing Whitespaces):		\s*$
Use Remove Function (Removes Leading Whitespaces):		^\s+
Use Replace Function (Removes Double Whitespaces):		/  +/g
Use Remove Function (Removes non-ASCII characters):		[^\x00-\x7F]


*** Add yours to this thread if you have other regex you use to clean up your files.

 

I typically use Smart File Renamer to perform renames.
