How to remove bad filename pattern from every file in one folder?
Hello Guys,
i need help with a big problem. After unpacking an iso file i get very strange reults. Every File that was unpacked gets the extension ';1' in the end. For example: start.exe;1 or picture.jpg;1
Now my question is how to remove this bad extension from every file in this folder without doing every single file by hand. May there is also a method to prevent this failure. Thank you for your Help!
In bash, only. However, I am nore concerned about the *why* are those files being screwed. But, if you are sure that their contents is ok, then you can rename them this way.
Their contents are okay. The way this ending appears is always the same: I got a simple .iso file. Then i right click on it and press "extract here". Everything works fine but i get these endings on every file that was inside the .iso file. Renaming them makes them usable again. Thank you for your answers!
