Multibyte problem

Bulk Rename Utility is a very powerful tool.
I knew it from "The 46 Best-ever Freeware Utilities"
However, I think the RE part of it was not able to do with chinese characters correctly.
Here is an example:
1. I have some filenames like this:
Code: Select all
C:\>dir /b __test__

Sorry, but the Regular Expression engine used by BRU (called PCRE) does not support Unicode.

Until the PCRE authors provide unicode support for RE, I cnanot provide it either.

Thanks for the reply.
If the PCRE support unicode someday, the Bulk Rename Utility will be best free rename tool. I think so. :D
