Why are brackets and dates not recognized when renaming folders?

[rednoah]

Visual Studio, not the command line, is what I'm using.

You mean to say you're trying to make a filebot call via the PowerShell command-line interpreter in Visual Studio?



If you're new to the command-line, then Cmdline and Argument Passing is greatly worth reading.



Here's how a simple command-line with a "47 Ronin 2013" style custom format might look like:

Console Output: Select all

$ filebot -rename *.mkv --db TheMovieDB -non-strict --format "{n} {y}" --action TEST --log INFO
[TEST] from [47 Ronin (2013).mkv] to [47 Ronin 2013.mkv]
