Automating Filename Editing

Post by brianejsmith » Sat Apr 12, 2014 1:14 pm

Does anyone know of a means whereby I can automate the process of inserting spaces into song titles and filenames that have been constructed to conform with the old Windows format where filenames were constructed with initial capital letters instead of spaces to identify the separate words which were run together into one single continuous filename or title.

As an example I would like to change "MyWildirishRose" into "My Wild Irish Rose"

Audacity 2.0.2 Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601 downloaded the zip file (I think...)

Use a batch file renamer, such as http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php .

It would be better to update to the latest 2.0.5 from http://audacityteam.org/download/windows .
