I figured out how to do most of what I needed to do with files. But this last part is eluding me.
I need to be able to remove the extra (.) that was added before the extension in files.
In some cases it's before the extension in others it's in the middle of a file.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Current:
Braveheart 1995.720p.BrRip.x264..srt
Braveheart 1995.720p.BrRip.x264..mp4
Braveheart 1995.720p.BrRip.x264..dvdid.xml
New:
Braveheart 1995.720p.BrRip.x264.srt
Braveheart 1995.720p.BrRip.x264.mp4
Braveheart 1995.720p.BrRip.x264.dvdid.xml
Simply FIND two dots and REPLACE with an single dot?
For that use
Repl.(3)
Replace: ..
With: .
OK, on default this does not work for the dot before the extension,
because on default BRU does not take the ext into account.... and so BRU see only one dot there at that place.
(Because the dot used as base name/Extension delimiter is excluded with the ext itself too)
So BRU will only work on this strings:
Braveheart 1995.720p.BrRip.x264.
Braveheart 1995.720p.BrRip.x264.
Braveheart 1995.720p.BrRip.x264..dvdid
But you can always take an closer look at the help or the options
and find you can disable this default behavior via menu "Options > Ignore... > File Extensions"
Issue solved?
