What should the rule be then to replace _ with -

 

[Trev]

I use this which replaces an underscore in a filename with a space

# Remove "_" in Filename
global filename _ action {renamefile {%orig%replace,_, ,}}

so if you replace the space with a hyphen like this

# Remove "_" in Filename
global filename _ action {renamefile {%orig%replace,_,-,}}

it should do what you want.
And this should work on the title

# Replace Title Ubderscore
global title New: action {settitle {%orig%replace,_ ,-,}}

Thank you Trev I'll give that a go.

I'll report the outcome after tonights recording.

That's not filename contains, it's filename matches.

No, it's contains but does support wildcards too.

Either 'filename _' or 'filename *_*' is fine.

This is the text version, I just borrowed this sweeper rule from the forum, this thread I believe.

# Remove _ from filename
global filename *_* action {renamefile {%orig%regsub,_ \s*, - ,}

You have a space before the \s* so it's looking for an underscore, followed by a space, followed by 0 or more spaces (the \s*). Remove the space before the \ and it should be fine.

The rule that Trev posted worked.

Thanks to all that had some input in solving this.

I have just upgraded sweeper to 2.0.15. Where can I find the info on the reason for upgrade/fixes?

There isn't anywhere unless the author chooses to say.

I have just upgraded sweeper to 2.0.15. Where can I find the info on the reason for upgrade/fixes?

There are some new features in this release:

• New %format function (e.g. %format:%03d:%episode: -> 001 - see http://hummy.tv/forum/threads/thetvdb-com-integration.6635/page-4#post-90317)
• Ability to set custom variables (set) and refer to them afterwards with %%varname + test for their existence with varset
  
• New log action (useful for testing/debugging)
• Example ruleset to implement dedup.

The new example rule-set gives a starting point for those who wish to customise the dedup behaviour and the other changes are predominantly in there to support this.

As usual, the wiki page has been updated to include the new conditions and actions - http://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Sweeper
