how to delete regions with batch converter or script -Sound Forge - Scripting

Subject:how to delete regions with batch converter or script Posted by: didier Date:3/22/2005 9:27:54 AM hiya, I have more than 2000 audio files and i wish to delete the region named "record take 1" in each one of those files. Is there a way of deleting markers and regions info without opening the files one by one, right clicking on the region and deleting. Maybe by using a batch converter or some script? Thank you Didier

Just copy both files in the zip file to the Script Menu folder and run the DeleteRegions script.

Scripting was added in SF 8.0. I did not write this script for Vegas use. I guess you could install the demo of SF 8, run the script, and have them all fixed (or just buy the upgrade). Since you posted in the SF scripting forum, I assumed you wanted it for SF8.

I've eventually found a way around: i installed an old SF 4.5 with a in-built batch converter with which I can remove or add summary and extra info. How come new versions don't do that? Anyway it works. thanks again and i'll let you know when i'll get SF 8.0 and try the script. Didier

As long as the regions are all named exactly the same, this script should do it:

Delete Region Script

This script will open all selected files, look for a particular region name (whatever you enter), delete that region - if found (note: if more than one region has the same name, only the FIRST one will be removed), and then re-save the file.

Just copy both files in the zip file to the Script Menu folder and run the DeleteRegions script.
