Bad case: rename *.pdf {{f|replace(".","")}}

[derekhu]

As mentioned in :

62af80c#r40840287

Bad cases:

rename  *.pdf   {{f|replace(".", "")}}         // expect:  "abcdefg...pdf" ==> "abcdefg.pdf"

rename *.pdf  {{f|regexReplace("\\d+", "")}}   //  expect:   'abcdefg01234.pdf' ==> "abcdegf.pdf"

// however, we will get "Invalid command". 

Maybe we can fix it in future:-)

Since the first one has a period in the command, you'll need to specify a file extension. You can do that with .{{ext}} or .pdf

rename *.pdf "{{f|replace('.','')}}.{{ext}}" -s

abcdefg...pdf → abcdefg.pdf
abcdefg01234.pdf → abcdefg01234.pdf

The second command works fine for me

rename *.pdf "{{f|regexReplace('\\d+','')}}" -s

abcdefg...pdf → abcdefg...pdf
abcdefg01234.pdf → abcdefg.pdf

@derekhu Sorry for the long delay, there's been a lot of life happening these past several months. I have fixed this locally so you no longer have to specify {{ext}}, it will be included in the 7.0.2 release.

Fixed in 7.0.2
