Wildcard?

Postby xylph » Sat Feb 10, 2007 11:15 am

I suppose a wildcard support will be helpful.
So if the filenames are:
abc[well].zip
qwerty[zzzzzzzzzz].zip
asdfghj[kl].zip
and we I want to remove the characters in square brackets,
only need to type [*] in Remove>Chars box.
So asterisk for a string of any length and question mark for a single char.

This is really what the Regular Expression stuff is designed to do, but I'll see if it can be added.

This is now added (on the CROP function) and will be in the next release.

Or, as mentioned, use the regex
from
^(.*)\[.*\](.*)
to
\1\2
