Hi all,
I've been renaming older files on my Mac (personal documents, pictures, videos) to the order of stripping filenames of parentheses, e.g., Paris (1) -> Paris 1.
An older computer of mine (likely Windows) would number files as such. Batch-renaming makes easy work of the task except for folders I'm at now with hundreds – and en masse thousands, of files to rename that also have, to say, flavour text, e.g., Paris (1) Café day, Paris (2) Lost et cetera.
I'd like here to thread the question of whether anyone knows of or can write me a script that would allow for integrity of filenames to remain but in the omission or stripping of parentheses, e.g., Paris (1) Café day, Paris (2) Lost -> Paris 1 Café day, Paris 2 Lost.
If I've been in any way unspecific, I do apologise. Thanks for reading.
