Thanks! It would be nice if it took care of directory names too. :) Excellent, just took care of bunches of commas in about 7000 mp3 filenames. Thanks!

On DevShed forum some kind guy reccomended me to use glob. It worked for me so nice, I only modified 1 string and added 1 string. Thank you for great script, Matt! Paul >>>RAM>>>.

My OS: Windows Vista. I can guess that it's because I have spaces in foldernames and filenames, I tried to type full path of one file and get several errors each containing letters between spaces. Maybe I'm wrong. Any suggestions how I can use this script or modify it so that I will be able to use it? I have the same problem as Eric.

To make it work, you can modify the rename.py file: After "import os" Add "import glob" Replace "for filename in args:" By "for filename in sum(map(glob.glob, args),[]):" I tried renaming a directory of pdfs. Works great! Eric,

It seems that wildcard characters are not recognized by os.path in Windows. To make it work, you can modify the rename.py file:

After “import os”
Add “import glob”

Replace “for filename in args:”
By “for filename in sum(map(glob.glob, args),[]):”
