Need to remove one of the two spaces between filename/date

Postby tjc2005 » Sun Mar 22, 2015 4:35 am

Hi all, new here, I'm having a bit of trouble, for some reason my folders/files have two spaces between each name and date e.g. "The Lego Movie 3D (2014)" < contains two spaces in between. So I just want it to look like "The Lego Movie 3D (2014)"

However I have multiple files and folders (obviously different amount of text), that I need to change, so I am left with only one space between.

Thanks.

This appears to be a simple task, if I understand the problem correctly.
You have a name followed by 2 spaces and then the opening parenthesis containing the year, is this correct?
Go to field 3 in Bulk Rename (called Repl. (3)) and in the replace put in 2 spaces followed by the opening parenthesis. i.e. " ("
In the with field put in 1 space followed by the opening parenthesis i.e. " ("
Don't put the quotes in, these are just to delineate the spaces in example.

This should only match the filenames with double spaces and will leave all single spaced titles alone.

Hope this helps
