How to batch rename files copied from OSX to Windows with ':' in filenames?
- by tputkonen
This is really puzzling. I have lots of videos that were stored using Mac OS, and now I have to edit them on Windows XP. I copied files using HFSExplorer. Editing software refuses to open the files with their current names, and so far I have not found a way to batch rename all the files.
Names of the files look like this:
clip-2009-10-01 21;26;00.mov
But I suspect in OSX the time was 21:26:00.
I would like to replace the space with an underscore, and semicolons with dash.
I've tried several bulk rename applications, with ; and :, but in vain. Also I've tried rename.pl, but also in vain.
