A few script requests within 1 post [SOLVED]

[Andrius]

First Script Parts 1 and 2 work perfectly! (As expected) haha. Soooo much time saved!

[Andrius]

Foxi is there a way to modify script 2 so that it's similar to script 1? It rips through the folders to find and remove special characters and then it goes through and does the filenames after that?

Deleted post - oops

[Andrius]

Script 2 and 3 also work perfectly

[foxidrive]

Glad to hear it. If you identify any characters that aren't renamed and adding them to the script doesn't help then let us know and perhaps an addition of some kind can be made.

see my next post below...

I think this is what you want - it should remove all special characters from folders, and replace & with and.

Then it will remove all special characters from files including &

It is not tested:

Code: Select all

@echo off
del renitems3.bat 2>nul
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a:d /o:n /b /s') do call :next "%%a"
call renitems3.bat
del renitems3.bat 2>nul
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a:-d /o:n /b /s') do call :next2 "%%a"
call renitems3.bat
del renitems3.bat 2>nul
GOTO:EOF
:next
set "newname=%~nx1"

set "newname=%newname:,=%"

if not "%~nx1"=="%newname%" >> renitems3.bat echo ren %1 "%newname%

Error: The system cannot find the file specified. Displays this 4 times roughly then closes.

I forgot the sort command - as noted in earlier posts. Try this:

I edited the batch file again to remove error messages when no folders or files were found to rename

Code: Select all

@echo off
del renitems3.bat 2>nul
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a:d /o:n /b /s ^|sort /r') do call :next "%%a"

Receiving the same error.

My structure that is being tested is this:
c:\Test\Script2.bat

c:\Test\Folder_1
c:\Test\Folder_1\Subfolder_1
c:\Test\Folder_1\Subfolder_1\test$'.txt
c:\Test\Folder_&2\Subfolder_1
c:\Test\Folder_&2\Subfolder_1\test&'.txt

ERROR:

Did you get the version above? I did edit the post a few times - it works here in my test.

[Andrius]

Works. I must have missed something in my copy perhaps. Sorry about any confusion. Works great!

[Andrius]

Fourth script also works like a dream!

Thanks for the feedback.
