Removing chars in multilevel folder

[kyk]

I need to rename files in multilevel directory/folder with Bulk Rename Utility.

Specifically, I want to delete characters '#' and '%' from all the file names and as well as from all the sub-folder names.
I also want to remove all occurrences of double spaces, and replace them with single spaces.

So, in Remove (5), I check-mark D/S and in field/box Chars, I type in two characters: #%

In Filters(12), I check-mark Folders, Files, Subfolders, Hidden and set Max. Len to 50.

But, no files are selected and processed.

What's wrong?

If additionally, I want to replace single spaces in file and folder names with either '.' or '_", how do I proceed?

Finally, If I want to capitalize letters that follow those single spaces (to be deleted), how do I proceed?

Hi, you will need to select files you want to apply the renaming to. Have you selected them already? thanks

I have selected one top-level folder and want all the sub-folders and files in them to be processed recursively. I do not to want to select files manually.

Click on subfolders in Filters (12), then select all (ctrl+a) , preview changes and click Rename.

After I pressed (ctrl+a), nothing happens and Rename Button does not become available.

If I set Name (2) to Fixed, the Rename Button becomes available, but how can I see the list of files to be processed? (ctrl+a) still does do anything

Hi, first select one item in the list then ctrl+A to select all. thanks

Yes, it works now. Thanks!

One more question: I am trying to upload this multilevel folder to MS OneDrive and it complains that path- and/or filenames are too long.

To shorten path+name, I want to remove symbols '_' in file and folder/path names and capitalize the letters that follow those '_' (to be deleted), how do I proceed? That is: "my_word_document.docx" => "myWordDocument.docx"

If it is still too long, I will need to cut down filenames length, say, to 10, how do I do it?

Thanks!

Hello:

1) (4) Rename all as Title
2) (3) Replace _ underscore with nothing

Thanks a lot!

Finally, how to cut down filenames length, say, to 10?

[Admin]

Use Remove (5)

Use Remove (5)

all my filenames have different length, varying from 5 to 50 or more. So option "Last n" is not good.

I guess I could use "From/to". Setting From=11 and To=255. Correct?

[Admin]

Hi, it depends what part of the too long file name you wish to keep.

The first 1 to 10 characters to keep

[Admin]

Yes, then use Remove From -> To
