BRC only showing preview i.e. running under simulation mode!

Postby zuydipurdo » Sat May 09, 2020 10:36 am

Hi i just started using BRC so yes in might be doing something dumb! but the following is my current situation:

i have the following files in a:\tmp
Code: Select all
1  0.txt
1__)2.txt


trying to rename them with:
Code: Select all
brc64 /STRIPSYMBOLS /TIDYDS /DIR:"a:\tmp"


also tried
Code: Select all
brc64 /STRIPSYMBOLS /TIDYDS

**the output was the same!

Output:
Code: Select all
Processing Folder a:\tmp\
Filename 1  0.txt would be renamed to 1 0.txt
Filename 1__)2.txt would be renamed to 12.txt


But when i do dir to check result:
Code: Select all
1  0.txt
1__)2.txt


Am i missing some switch?
i am using BRC (x64) version 1.3.3.0 on windows 10 1909.18363.778.

Please assist.

thank you

To actually affect a change you need /EXECUTE.

Without /EXECUTE, you verify that the output is expected (on screen).
With /EXECUTE the changes are made.
