ReNamer › Rules › Strip rule

Strip characters from the filename. The rule has predefined character sets, like digits, symbols and brackets, but you can also define your own character set. All occurrences of the specified characters will be removed from the filename.

Character set parameters:

Parameter	Details
English	Strip all English characters. Numbers (0-9) will not be stripped. Non-English characters will not be stripped, e.g. characters with diacritical mark, which are used in many languages in Europe and Asia)
Digits	Strip digits 0 through 9.
Symbols	Strip common symbols. All characters that are considered to be symbols are showed in the box on the right.
Brackets	Strip common brackets. The content between the brackets will remain unaffected. If you want to delete the content as well, use the CleanUp rule instead.
User defined	Specify any characters that need to be removed. Note that this is not a string. All characters in the text box will removed individually.
Unicode range	Strip Unicode codepoints by their hexadecimal notation. For example: "10000-10FFFF" for supplementary planes, "200B,200C,200D,FEFF" for zero width characters.
