Why are brackets and dates not recognized when renaming folders?

[waderatke]

For instance, I would like to rename the folder containing my TV shows and movies without the brackets.
47 "Ronin" (2013)

Would you like 47 Ronin 2013 or 47 Ronin? Visual Studio, not the command line, is what I'm using.

Much obliged.

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]
