So I know this seems kinda lazy but I was wondering if someone could create a simple bat for me that will replace the characters "_" and "." with spces except the last "." which is for the extension.

So like say you had "ps2_Repair_Guide.pdf" it would output to "ps2 Repair Guide.pdf"

I want this because when I download stuff and then want to store it on my external I like to have it orderly and removing those periods and underscores is very tedious.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

i think you can click on the file then hit rename and then take the stuff out u dont want i think this is what u r asking

I know you can do it that way but when a file has 12 periods and there's 10 files in the folder it becomes very repetitive.
But I'm pretty sure someone could code a simple bat to replace those characters.

Bulk Rename Utility
I use this... it looks complicated, but in actual fact is very easy to use and damn useful.



i.e you just use the replace function and enter in "_" and "." and hit rename.. Job Done!

Especially when you DL music albums, say a 3 CD album, 18 tracks a piece = 54 mp3 files to edit just for spaces. Very tedious indeed.

I have DL'd & installed this, thanks Rendren2458 you've saved me loads of hassle.

Thanks I'm going to try this is looks pretty good

"Ant Renamer Portable", I use it alot with pre-defined replacements (that I know will mess the f up when shuffeling stuff around between systems via ftp)

Here's the one I use, if your in need of a simpiler one.
