Sorry I forgot. This is the output of the script:

Cfg file has the following contents:

C:\Users\zoran\PycharmProjects\mm_align\hrt3.cfg contents
[Dir]
ROOTDIR = C:\Users\zoran\hrt

How to determine that?

Well, in my program I am defining a file name as category-id-description.mp3.
If the file is too long I am cutting description (it wasn't clear from my example).
