I ran an audio format batch conversion utility that somehow messed
up,
and I have about 500 files that are ending in .#0 rather than .wav --
so I am wondering if anyone has written a script that can
recursively go
through multiple levels of a directory and search for filenames that
contain a specific thing (in this case a file like
"HBE_12Z-Splash_Pa-Sch_f_D-na.#0" and rename it as
"HBE_12Z-Splash_Pa-Sch_f_D-na.wav" )
Otherwise, I'll just start working on writing something from scratch.
If you're using Tiger, use Automator. What you describe is a two-
action workflow:
- Get Folder Contents (turn on "repeat for each subfolder")
- Rename Finder Items (replace text ".#0" with ".mp3")
Save it as a Finder plug-in, and it'll show up in the Finder's
contextual menu.
