What is the correct way to identify a special / reserved character within a file name and replace it? A few examples would be helpful. Thanks in advance for your help.
Substitution tab > replace 'x' by 'y' for each character to replace or remove.
Or if you want to do it all in once, you will need to use the pattern tab
Example:
foo ? and foobar, live2007.wav
Pattern:
Code:
Original file: {L} ? {L} {L}, {X}
Renamed file: {1}_{2}_{3}_{4}
Output:
foo_and_foobar_live2007.wav
