Title: remove "quotes" around Name - help please
Post by: MusicBringer on November 05, 2024, 06:42:10 am
Hello chaps,
I wish to remove "quotes" from either end of the Name field.
For example "He's Fine, And We're Fine, Too"
I cannot see it listed on the Clean File Properties function.
Thank you,

Highlight all of the files and then in the tag editor you can set the name field to something like this:

Code: [Select]
=removecharacters([Name], /", 3)
You may want to try it on a subset first, I don't have anything to test it on but I think that the quote will need to be escaped like that.

That's just what I wanted.
It worked a treat.
...although it worked on some immediately, I found that a few " quote characters differed in being open and closed quote characters.
But I persuaded your code to work on them too.
@BryanC, Thank you so much...for helping me yet again 😊
