Index > Reference > Filters > Formatting Filters > Token Mover Filter





This filter allows you easily switch places for tokens (name parts) in names. For example, you can switch the Artist and Track Title parts for a music file.

First, you should decide what will be the Token Seperator String. This string is used to separate names into tokens (parts). For example, it the seperator string is -, the name Artist-Album-Title will be divided into three tokens: Artist, Album, Title.

Token number to move: Select which token out of the defined tokens you would like to move. Token number must not exceed the number of tokens in each name.

Places to move: Select the distance and direction to move the token to. Use positive values for moving right, and negative values for moving left. Distance is measured in tokens. For example: Use -1 to switch the token with it's preceding token.
If distance exceeds start / end of name, token will be moved to the first / last place respectively.

Can be applied on any text field.

Example:

Move Token #2 in 3 places forward. Token Seperator string is ",".
