Hi.
i have been thinking about this for quite a long time.
what the problem for me is, is that i have a lot of files from blind mice mart with _ (underlines in them) do you think you could make a program that could queue up files and then you could press a button and it would delete all the underlines in the files oh and leave spaces between them?
its just an idea but i think it would be a good program to have. it would make everyones lives easyer.
Delete the underlines in the file names, or the files themselves?
I think either would be quite simple, but the renaming option might be a little tricky with spaces , since the easiest ay to do that would be a batch file.
(Anyone more familiar with dos commands: would this do the trick?
ren *_* "* *"
?)
Hi. about deleteing the files. i can't do that. because they are movies! lol and i can't get rid of my movies!
hahah i am to much of a movie fanatic to do that. hmm is fanatic the rite word? oh well no matter.
hi
i think that there is a kind of progame that removes extra unwanted headers from the files , i have seen such kind of stuff on whitestick.co.uk, but not sure about this one, ‵vb100 though.
Hi,
Cae, your example would not work, since a wildcard must have letters or a dot in between, but no whitespace, as far as I know. I will have to refresh my dos command knowledge as well, haha.
Mmmm, Brad, are those movies located in one single folder?
Rob
hi.
yes.
they are all in one folders. wel the folders are separated but yes the movies are in one folder.
Hmmm...This is a toughy. The Windows command prompt won't allow you to do this through a bat file because you aren't suppose to have spaces in the file names. The Linux shell, bash, won't allow you to do it through shell scripts either. Its only with the invention of graphical guis like Windows Explorer that you can use spaces legally in file names.
I've been programming for about 12 years now, and unfortunately I haven't had any experience with doing something quite like this. Its not like a simple find and replace in a text file because you have to get the name of the file, store it in a string variable, replace all the underlines with a space, and then tell Windows to overwrite the old file name with the new file name. Problem the system() function which I'd normally use for a task like this will not allow a developer to insert spaces into a file name. I'm not really sure how someone would go about writing a tool to do this thanks to the limitation of not being able to insert spaces through the normal shell commands.
Hello,
Here's one way to do it.
Visit this website and download A.F.5 Rename your files.
After installing it, add all the files you'd like to rename using the add button.
Hit ctrl+h for search/replace. In the search field put a underline (_), in the replace field, a space ( ). Hit the OK button.
Then, check the list, it shows how the newfilenames will look like for each file. If you are satisfied with it, hit the rename button, and the program will start renaming them.
Hth,
Rob
Hi,
@Tward, last time I checked, MoveFile allowed spaces in filenames.
Why I am not inclined to write one is because there are far too many utilities which can do the job quite well.
Rob
hi,
i didn't know programs like this were out here.
/edit/
is there a way i can select all of the files in a folder using this program? or do i nead to add them one buy one?
this is agreat program buy the way!
/edit/
thanks robjoy for your help!
oh and thanks Tward cid and kei.
Hi,
You're most welcome, Brad!
Yes, it should be able to handle adding multiple files from the list, e.g. you can select the files with the shift key and click open. All the selected files will be added.
Rob
Hey, Rob. Thanks for the program suggestion. This looks like what the doctor ordered.
