Importing CDG+mp3 files from hard drive

[gd123]

Thanks to those that tested this and proved it works.

Further:
01 - 01 Hot hot hot - Buster Poindexter.cdg
parses correctly because the first "Hot" is NOT a "Separator Character."

There is no "hot" listed in the Drop Down Boxes of the FIELDS.

Hoster is programmed to INCLUDE ALL until the NEXT "Separator Character" is seen, which, then, tells Hoster to STOP INCLUDING.

At Field #4, Hoster is told to see a SINGLE SPACE and perform a separation at that point. Then, Hoster INCLUDES everything after the SINGLE SPACE through Field #5 where Hoster is told to include everything as a TITLE and STOP INCLUDING at Field #6 where a SPACEdashSPACE "Separator Character" tells Hoster that the TITLE Field has ended. etc...

However, in the example above, there would be a problem parsing if there was ONLY a SPACE between the Title and Artist, as the file would appear to have ONE LONG TITLE: i.e
01 - 01 Hot hot hot Buster Poindexter.cdg

in which case, the Title and Artist may not be parsed correctly.

But, who would name any Karaoke file like that?

Norton Commander

This is now know as Total Commander and is FREEWARE that works 100%.

I have been using it since the 80's when it was DOS Norton Commander and is very good for renaming files.

The unlicensed version makes you Click a Numbered Button to OPEN the Program. But, it tells you which Numbered Button to Click.

Of course, purchasing software helps support further development.

Hi gd123,

Quote: "Field 4 is where your SINGLE SPACE appears. Are you trying to TYPE the WHOLE word "SPACE" instead of entering the SPACE CHARACTER?"

I just pushed the space bar. Nothing I did worked.

Thank you so much for explaining what a period is and understanding how to set up files.

Ive downloaded Total Commander you've recommended and hopefully it will rename my files by putting the " - " between the 'Track & Title'.

Thank you again so much for your help everyone!! I really do appreciate it
