Hello,
I have a lot of files which countain %20 in their names. So I would like to remove %20. I have a Batch Dos script which remove spaces in filenames. Could you help me to adapt it? I would be very happy! Thanks

Hi @echo off setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
rem Change path as required /s All files dir /b /s | find "%%20" > Files.txt
for /f %%a in (Files.txt) do ( set FName=%%a set FName=!FName:%%20=! rem Tryed using Rename but did'nt work rem must be something to do with the % rem delimeter, so used copy then delete. copy %%a !FName! > nul del %%a > nul ) echo Done! setlocal
