Also haven't tried any scripts yet, do you just paste in the try script panel?

Thanks

Yup, scripting can make life so much easier.

Just so that you know what that script means, here is the explanation:

Code: Select all

::rename s, " >";

:: = Its for XY to recognize that a script is starting
rename = XY command for renaming
s = abbr for for "search and replace"
" >" = Replace all instances of space [ ] with nothing []
another example:
"A>B" = replace all As with Bs

rename s, " ", p;

I would have suggested this script:

Code: Select all

rename s, " ", p;

The "a>b" syntax works as well, but rather as a special case. In general form it means: replace all single characters listed left of ">" with the string right of ">".

::rename s, " ", p;
