Renaming files with spaces in name

[ffdshow]

Hi

I have thousands of files in a folder which has spaces in names (e.g. help file 2.txt)

Is possible to rename those files like this: helpfile2.txt

HI,

_FileReadToArray and then FileMove with StringStripWS should help you

Careful here. You want _FileListToArray, i'm sure this was an honest mistake.

Another possibility is to just work with the 8.3 short names using FileGetShortName().

Even better, upgrade your skilz and your scripts to be OK with names that names that have spaces in them.

OK

What is wrong in this script?

#Include <File.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>

$path = @ScriptDir
$dest = "C:\folder"
$FileList = _FileListToArray($path, "*.txt")

For $i=1 To UBound($FileList)-1
    $name = StringStripWS($path & $FileList[$i], 8)
    FileMove($path & $FileList[$i], $dest & $FileList[$i] & $name,1)
Next

Try this (untested)

#Include <File.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>

$path = "c:\util"
$dest = "C:\folder"
$FileList = _FileListToArray($path, "*.txt")

For $i=1 To UBound($FileList)-1
    $name = StringStripWS($FileList[$i], 8)
    FileMove($path & "\" & $FileList[$i], $dest & "\" & $name,1)
Next

too late
