The trick is to extract the right information from the path, and especially what to do if some of it is optional. |

eschwartz - yes, I sort of knew that, but better to let the horse speak for itself.
My method is likewise bespoke, enscapulated in saved rename & saved S&R, I don't need it often enough to make it better'n that.
