soloist | The easiest way to get started with chef solo | Configuration Management library

I have a considerable classical FLAC collection where each album is a directory. I've realized that I have used a sub-optimal structure and need to rename all the directories.

My current naming convention is:

COMPOSER (CONDUCTOR) - NAME OF PIECE

E.g.

"Bach (Celibidache) - Mass in F minor"

I want to change the naming to

COMPOSER - NAME OF PIECE (CONDUCTOR)

I.e.

"Bach - Mass in F minor (Celibidache)"

There are some possible exceptions, the (CONDUCTOR) may be (CONDUCTOR, SOLOIST) and some directories do not have the (CONDUCTOR) part and should be left as is. The NAME OF PIECE can contain all legal letters and symbols.

All albums are located in the same parent directory, so no sub-directories.

What is the easy way to do this?

Dog.poop is just my silly way of using colorize to get a more visible puts output. It only eats strings, that is why Dog.poop("#{}")

Dog.poop(#{attributes == {"firstname"=>"Firstname", "lastname"=>"Lastname", "description"=>"test", "document_id"=>"", "email"=>"", "mobile"=>"", "url"=>"", "soloist"=>"1", "performance_order"=>"1"}}"

is just to show I checked if attributes is indeed == with the {"firstname etc Hash. is true (=== is true too)
