BRC not quite renaming things correctly
Posted: Fri Apr 05, 2024 4:35 am
I have a strange issue on this one. I've been using BRC for a while just to check over a directory and advise on any naming issues. This is using the BRC command line, been working great up until recently.
I have the following command line.
The idea of the command is to just report back on what needs to be changed, however, when running the above I receive strange results such as the below.
Filename Unit G 39 Garnet Rd-FOCUSL2924.pdf would be renamed to 39d2924.pdf
Filename Unit G 39 Garnet Rd.pdf would be renamed to 39d.pdf
Filename Unit G 39 Garnet Rd.xlsx would be renamed to 39d.xlsx
I thought this could be a system issue, so I have tried this same command on Windows 10 & Windows 11, both 32 and 64 bit. 2 different computers too, both a mapped drive or local file path... but the same results.
Am I being silly? (It has been known to happen).
I have the following command line.
- Code: Select all
BRC64.exe /DIR:X:\ /RECURSIVE /REMOVECHARS:'"*:<>?/\|' /TRIM /TIDYDS /REPLACECI:'Focus Construction Interiors':'FCI' /REPLACECI:'Focus Management Group':'FMG' /REPLACECS:'~':'-' /NODUP
