Remove [] from file name

[aveit]

Hi

I have a number of files in a folder like below:

200002 - [20130708] - Test1
258258 - [20130907] - Test2

Is it possible to remove the [ and ] so i would be left with:

200002 - 20130708 - Test1
258258 - 20130907 - Test2

Many thanks
Paul

This could help if the files are in the current directory:

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
for %%a in (*) do (
  set FILE=%%~a
  set FILE=!FILE:[=!
  set FILE=!FILE:]=!
  echo rename "%%~a" "!FILE!"
)
endlocal
goto:eof

If you use ! characters in your filenames, then ask for further help.

Works perfectly for [ and ].

Would i be able to adjust this to replace
- page

with

_page

Many thanks

Add this to the code.

Code: Select all

set FILE=!FILE:- page=_page!
