Multirename tool > Rename filename with special character: "[" and "["

Post by *user268745 »

Hi,

I want to rename some files and use the special character [ and ]. But I get an error because these are already used in the default settings.

For example:

Filename001.jpg
Filename002.jpg
Filename003.jpg

I want to rename these to:

[Filename001].jpg
[Filename002].jpg
[Filename003].jpg

Is there some other way to do this?

Press F1 for Help in the Multi-rename tool for tips:
[[] Insert square bracket: open
[]] Insert square bracket: close (cannot be combined with other commands inside the square bracket!)

To complement hi5 info, in the first field of Rename Mask: Filename instead of [N], enter

Code: Select all

[[N]]
