Replace Invalid Characters

[666de666]

Hello,
Is there a possible way to replace the invalid characters in name while renaming with another characters? For example, when renaming we see that :, ? etc. are invalid characters... so Filebot omits those characters. Now, instead of deleting those characters, can I replace colon (:) with dash (-) or question mark (?) with a exclamation mark (!) and so on?

Thank you in advance.

Yes.

e.g.

Code: Select all

{t.replaceAll(/[`´‘’ʻ]/, "'")}

You will find numerous other examples in the docs.

Worked like a charm. Thank you very much.

Hi,

first, sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany.
Thanks for your fine program, everything works fine, but I don't get it where I have to post the code you've mentioned above.

I would like to rename my films like this:

Original: Thor: Ragnarök
I would like to have it like this: Thor - Ragnarök.

So the ':' should be changed to ' -' with a blank before the line '-'

How can I do this?
Thank you very much for your help.

Sure, the {plex} format does what you want by default.

The first built-in movie format example does exactly that as well:

Code: Select all

n.colon(' - ')

What format are you using?

Oh, I'm so stupid... ^^'
Now, I think I've got it right. The format I'm using is: {n.colon(' - ')} ({y})
That should be fine, right now.

Thanks for your help
