Sure (by scripting). But in a reliable way only if the (second) leading numbers are really unique.
E.g.:
01_01-why.mp4
If there is any other file beginning with
01_01-whatever.mp4
You'd run into trouble.
So... Leading numbers are unique? Are the .srt files in the same folder as the .mp4 files?

Code: Select all
$srtFiles = listfolder("<curpath>", "*.srt", 5, "<crlf>");
$movieFiles = listfolder("<curpath>", "*.mp4", 5, "<crlf>");
foreach($file, $movieFiles, "<crlf>") {
$baseName = getpathcomponent($file, "base");
$ndleading = regexreplace($file, "(^\d+_)(\d+)(-.*)", "$2");
$match = regexmatches($srtFiles, "$ndleading.*?(?=$)");
if (gettoken($match, "count", "|") == 1) {
renameitem($baseName, $match);
}
}
Go into the folder that contains the .mp4 and .srt files and execute the above script.
It renames only those files for which it finds a unique match (based on the second leading number of the .mp4 file name).
Ofc you should test it with a copy of your files (a few would be enough) first!

Be more specific...
- File name before
- File name after renaming
- Belonging .srt file name
