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,
