China DOS Union

After using dir d:\music\*.*>列表1.txt /b

the format of 列表1.txt is as follows

JJ Lin-At the Moment of Decisive Battle
Fish Leong-Premonition of Happiness
Teresa Teng-Love in the Heart
Teresa Teng-With Me There Is You
Teresa Teng-Taipei Girl
JJ Lin-ENCORE
…………
Suppose it is changed to the following format:

列表2.txt

JJ Lin - At the Moment of Decisive Battle
Fish Leong - Premonition of Happiness (LIVE Complete Record edition)
Teresa Teng - Love in the Heart
Teresa Teng - With Me There Is You
Teresa Teng - Taipei Girl
JJ Lin - ENCORE
Teresa Teng - Always Smile

That is, change "-" into " - "
Of course it's easy to replace it directly in the list, then use the corrected list (列表2.txt) to modify the corresponding song names in song list 1 in the music library! Changing them one by one is too troublesome, so I'd like to ask how to do this in batch!

Doesn't Notepad have a replace function?

Notepad does have a replace function. What I mean is batch-changing the music names in the music library:
Singer1-Song1 changed to Singer1 - Song1
Singer2-Song2 changed to Singer2 - Song2
Singer3-Song3 changed to Singer3 - Song3
And everyone can try it too: if there are a large number of characters in Notepad, replace still isn't as fast as a batch file!

Just run the code in reply #2 directly.
--------------------------------
JJ Lin-At the Moment of Decisive Battle ← split into the red and blue parts.

No response at all!

I overlooked one point. Change it to this:
@echo off for /f "tokens=1,* delims=-" %%中 in ('dir /b d:\music') do ( ren "d:\music\%%中-%%丮" "%%中 - %%丮" )

It worked. Thank you so much!
I still don't understand this “%%中-%%丮”, hehe! Please explain it a bit

“%%中-%%丮” is the same as “%%a-%%b” ... just using Chinese instead. The a b or 中 丮 in it are arranged according to ASCII encoding, and the ASCII codes of those two Chinese characters are also right next to each other. (Converted with the software ASCII码随心换)

Learned something. I originally thought for tokens could only use letters and numbers.
Brilliant!
