Hello,
First off, love the utility, it's saving me a ton of time.
I am coming from a windows/excel/word background and just cannot find how to do something that is probably ridiculously easy. I have searched, but to no avail.
Basically I can't find the wildcard indicator for the program.
Anyway I have a ton of files that contain various 'author' names in the files and I'd like to remove them. These names are always in parenthesis and are followed by a dash and static text. There may be 20 something authors for each company and I'd like to get rid of all of them at one shot per company.
For example:
Example 34 (2001) (author-company1name).xls
My thoughts were to use a replace of " (*-company1name)" with "" [nothing] but it isn't working.
I am sure I am just using the wrong wildcard symbol but am having a heck of a time figuring it out.
There is often other info in the filename (usually before of after the date), but I'd really only like to remove the (author-company) part.
Thanks.
