files contain translated two bytes strings

[marc271]

Hello,

On my computer I have some directories that were moved from an old Solaris server containing files with German „Umlaut“ characters like „ä ö ü Ä Ö ü Ü ß“.
These moved files contain translated two bytes strings.

I already created a translation table reading:

ä=ä
ÇÏ=ä
Çô=ö
Ǭ=ü
ÇY=ß
ä=ä
Ä=Ä
ö=ö
ü=ü
^2f=-

Can the tool do that?

Renamed Pairs

Renaming From A Text File

With Bulk Rename Utility it is possible to rename files according to a text file. The text file should contain a list of "old name" and "new name" pairs, separated by a pipe symbol ( | ) or a comma ( , ). Bulk Rename Utility will read ANSI and Unicode (UTF-16) text files.

To use this facility, create a text file in for the correct format, for example:



Track001.mp3|Headlong.mp3
Track002.mp3|Rushes.mp3
TRACK003.mp3|AnywhereIs.mp3


or use comma separated (CSV)



Track001.mp3,Headlong.mp3
Track002.mp3,Rushes.mp3
TRACK003.mp3,AnywhereIs.mp3


One entry per line.


Next, click the Import Rename-Pairs on the Actions menu and select your file. If the file is valid, then select all the files to rename and you will see the "new name" column reflecting the contents of the text file.

When comparing the current filename with the text file, the application ignores the case of the filename, e.g. it will match Track001.mp3 and TRACK001.mp3. This makes it easy to rename the files.

Click on "Rename Pairs Imported" to show the list of imported renaming pairs.



Specifying Full Paths
You can also specify full paths, such as c:\folder\track1.mp3, in the first column for the old file names.
Then Bulk Rename Utility will match these names against the full path and not just the file name.



Text File Requirements

Bulk Rename Utility will read ANSI and Unicode (UTF-16) text files.




Note: You can view all the imported rename-pairs by selecting 'View Imported Rename-Pairs' from the Bulk Rename Utility menu.
