Cleaner way to strip?

Post by macroman » Tue May 10, 2016 7:26 am

Is there any other way to strip unwanted tags from filenames like what i'm currently doing?

Code: Select all

StringReplace>%filename%,',,filename
StringReplace>%filename%,(,,filename
StringReplace>%filename%,),,filename
it could get nastier if i add a few more...

One way would be to use RegEx>

Code: Select all

RegEx>['()],filename,0,m,nm,1,,filename
Which looks for either of ' ( ) in the filename and replaces it with an empty string, ie removes it, and puts the result in the string filename.
