Wizards,

I am trying to do a script that will strip the leading 5 characters from file names.

For example I want "0050_2010_winners_accessories" to become "2010_winners_accessories".

In my current script I'm trying use these lines, where the "?" would be a wild card. Apparently the "?" is not valid for this.

property searchStrings : {"00\?\?_"}
property replacementStrings : {""}

TIA,

Bob Poland - Fort Collins, CO
