JRiver Expression Clean mode 3, trailing '.'
« on: June 15, 2018, 03:45:14 pm »
Is it possible to get the Clean function to remove trailing spaces and/or periods in either mode 3, or a new mode for folder paths?

I'm not sure if you missed it, but I posted an expression for this in your previous topic: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,116359.msg804277.html#msg804277

Thanks, I did see it (although I haven't tried it yet), but it seemed like Clean was a more elegant solution.

Also, periods at the end of folder names in Windows is not acceptable.  There was actually a bug in MC that in TV recordings, folders would be named with an ellipse at the end, and you couldn't delete the folder.  If you try to create a folder manually with a period at the end, Windows 10 will strip it out.

Clean is for illegal characters in filenames and  . is obviously not one of those (.avi, .jpg etc). I would use RD James' expression it is perfect for what you want.
