Hi. I'm a noob, so please be gentle. I have a ton of files that contain underscores in-between each word and I'd like to replace the underscore with a space. For instance:
Hamster_Fight.mp3 would become Hamster Fight.mp3. I can't figure out how to do this and every forum post I've found that discusses this is at least a couple of years old and seems to be outdated. Can anyone help? And thank you in advance. |

Try reading the User Guide - it really does help! Hint - you would "like to REPLACE the underscore with a space". The answer is obvious! |

I looked at the user guide but it seems to be outdated as well--at least, it doesn't seem to reflect Ant Renamer in its current form--and if you mean I should use the replace function, such as multiple string replacement, put an underscore in the "search for" box and a space in the "replace by" box, well, I tried that but it didn't work. I just end up with no spaces at all between the words. Edit: I *think* I have it figured out (fingers crossed). Under "string replacement" I had the "apply to extension instead of name" box ticked. Once I unticked the box it seemed to work. Yay! |
