how to add "]" to the beginning of a text.

Hi all,

So i have "Samplefilename" and need to add various symbols at the start of name, i use multi-rename tool and everything works fine until i try to add "]". I get error. Is there any way around it?

Since the square brackets are used to enclose the placeholders, they can't be used as is as part of the filename. If you want a literal square bracket in your filename you have to enclose it in square brackets as well. To add a closing square bracket:

Code: Select all

[]]

or an opening square bracket:

Code: Select all

[[]

This is also mentioned in TC's help; press F1 when the MRT is open.

BTW: If you use a recent enough TC version, these square brackets can also be inserted via the [+] menu (right next to the [N] Name button).
