How to get Search/Replace to work on this?

Post by Vocalpoint »

I have run across a number of music files in my backup archives - whose file name includes the following chars:

(1)

So I see something like:

10 Debbie Denise (1).flac

I want to revert it back to:

10 Debbie Denise.flac

But no matter which "pattern" I choose in XY to replace the "(1)" - wherever the filename contains a "1" it seems to be effected as well...

Example - Search and Replace String = (spacebar)(1)

I end up with the filename being altered:

0 Debbie Denise.flac

What am I doing wrong? I could have swore I had this working several versions back...

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

This works fine. Note that there is a space before (

Sweet. That was it...I was missing the backslash.

Cheers!
