Can I search on the extension and replace the .?

Postby tferro » Fri Oct 24, 2014 11:16 pm

Hi, thank you for your program. It has saved me so much time. I have only one thing that I am having trouble doing.

I have over 2000 music files, and a good number of them (although not all) have this space and then a dash right before the extension.

POP - CRAZY ON YOU - HEART -.zip
If they all looked like this, I could just count over from the end and remove those character spots. However, since many of them don't have this issue, I need to do something like a REPLACE ( -.zip) WITH (.zip)
When I dot this it doesn't recognize any part of the extension. Is there a way to get it to do this?

Thanks for any help.

Thank you so much. I ended up having to ignore file extensions and uncheck the ignore folder extensions and then it worked. I appreciate your swift reply. Again, I love this program.
