I am running BRU 2.7.1.2 on Windows 7 64-bit.
I have hundreds of oddly named files, with all sorts of characters that I want to get rid of.
For my purposes, I want to get rid of any non-alphanumeric character in a file name. I want to leave the extensions as is.
Suppose I have a slew of Word docs ( *.doc )
When I placed [^a-zA-Z0-9_] in the match field and placed, say, "_" in the replace field, then BRU wants to name the file _.doc ( for example )
It wants to replace the entire filename with a "_" in any file with a non-alphanumeric character.
BRU then leaves any file name without a non-alphanumeric character alone.
I just want to replace every non-alphanumeric character with a "_" and leave the acceptable alphanumeric characters alone.
