Sorry if this is too basic: I need to rename from filename the following files:
01 - This is file 1.mp3
02 - This is file 2.mp3
03 - This is file 3.mp3
......
0n - This is file n.mp3
To
This is file 1.mp3
This is file 2.mp3
This is file 3.mp3
....
This is file n.mp3
In other words, I need to get rid of the "01 -" characters.
Help please!
