So, I have obtained some TV show episodes (avi), and they are named like so:


Fringe.S03E01.HDTV.XviD-LOL
Fringe.S03E02.HDTV.XviD-LOL
...
Fringe.S03E10.HDTV.XviD-LOL
Fringe.S03E11.HDTV.XviD-LOL
...
Fringe.S03E20.HDTV.XviD-LOL
Fringe.S03E21.HDTV.XviD-LOL
...


Anyone know how I can easily rename them to be like the below?


Fringe - S03E01
Fringe - S03E02
...
Fringe - S03E10
Fringe - S03E11
...
Fringe - S03E20
Fringe - S03E21
...

If you are on a Mac and they are all the exact same format, you can use Automator to create an Apple Script that will do it for you.

With the amount of time spent looking, I've found it's honestly quicker to just do it by hand. I've always done it by hand with the stuff I have.

Yesterday, I had googled how to disable the whole permissions crap, and did find a solution to that and did it.
HAd to reboot for it to take affect. Now when I use my old "Bath Rename Utility" it works perfectly. So thanks for the replies guys, but not needed now ;D

If you were using Linux/Mac I could have written the command easily for you. :P Not familiar enough with DOS yet.

Also, is that really called "Bath" or is it supposed to be "Batch"?

Batch.. It's what people refer to as being a "typo" :P
Easily happens when you just woke up. =D
