How to replace all underscores with spaces

Case: A file has underscrores in its name, and you want to replace them with spaces.

Many filenames, especially those generated automatically or downloaded from the internet, use underscores _ instead of spaces. With Advanced Renamer, you can quickly clean up those filenames by replacing all underscores with regular spaces.

Here is how to do it:

1. Add the files to the list.
2. If there are methods in the method list, click the Clear Methods toolbar button.
3. Add the Replace method and configure it as follows:
   • Replace: _
   • Replace with: a space character (press the spacebar).
   • Occurence: All
   • Use Regular Expression: No
   • Apply To: Name
4. Verify the names in the list and click Start Batch.

If you have multiple characters you want to replace with space, you can separate each search character with \ in the Replace field. For example, if you want to replace both underscores and hyphens with spaces, you can set the Replace field to _\-. This will replace both characters with a space.
