renaming doc~WDWALSOJ

[deval]

I have a huge number of files that have been renamed to have junk a the end of the filename its always ~XXXXXXXX

any suggestions of how i could rename them - i do have some duplicates with the original file so i would love to compare timestamps and delete the duplicates

I guess I need to use regexp but not sure about the tilda symbol

This sounds like it could be solved fairly simply with a regular expression.
e.g. Regex(1)
Match:([^~]+)~.*
Replace:\1
Include Ext. box unchecked
However, this makes a lot of assumptions about the content of the rest of the filename.
Can you give half a dozen real filenames as examples? Show how you want them changed.
It helps to know what is included in the part of the filename you want to keep, and what is in the part you want discarded.

Cordially,
Glenn
