hey every!


i rendered out a 1000 frame video for school and the naming convention is wrong.. my fault.

here is what the first frame is named
07_110_00
and it is supposed to be named
07-110-00

not a big deal.. but it is to my teacher and my class (we're making a film)..

anyways i have two options, rename them all by hand which takes too long, or re-render out the frames which takes 100x longer.

is there a program or code i can enter to replace all "_" with "-" ???

thanks for the hlp guys
hope to hear from some of u on this one
 
yeah theres a quick way to do this
put them all in a folder, select all, select the first frame, right click on it, rename it to 07-110-00 (or what ever the first file is)... however itll name it: name, name (1) , name (2) , name (3), and so on but its the only thing i can think of, off my head

sorry if its not exactly what youre looking for
 
too bad you arent using linux - regular expressions makes life easy for that sort of thing.
 
there's a program called "renamer" that makes it really easy to rename a bunch of files at a time. You might could try that.
 
yea dude i know. my school made me learn linux for reasons like that monkey

...hey lifter, u know where i can find this app?
