Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Okey,
so I am download this course from pluralsight.
https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/powershell-getting-started

So i'v downloaded a few videos, and this is what the output of the file name looks like:

Sub title -Video title - course name -sub nr - videonr
Introduction to PowerShell -Introduction to PowerShell -powershell-getting-started - m1 - 01
Introduction to PowerShell -Who Is this Course For -powershell-getting-started - m1 - 02
Introduction to PowerShell -What Is Windows PowerShell -powershell-getting-started - m1 - 03
PowerShell Basics - What We'll Cover-powershell-getting-started-m2-01

this is what i would like:

[x] make a folder with the course name (bat file)
[] make a folder under the course name with the sub folder name
[] change the title of the video to this; videonr - video title

is this possible or do I have to do it all manually?

Works perfectly. Bother to read what I've posted.
