delete first character from file names

#1 Post by newlight » 30.12.2008, 06:19

Hello all,
can I use the multi-rename tool to delete the first character from the file names?
I have 200 files in a folder, all their names begin with space. And I would like to get rid of that space

thanks

Use the blue arrow beside the "file name" field in "multiple rename" an you've the solution:

name from x: [n,x]

I have a similar thing Im trying to fix, I have a whole list of songs with numbers at the beginning, going like this:

01 - song1
02 - song2
03 - song3

What are the commands I have to use to get rid of the numbers in front all at once to get:

song1
song2
song3

Thanks a bunch.

In Name, [n,s]

Everything will be cut off up to the character(s) that you specify.
