How do you search a file name with parenthesis in there?
Received a ton of files with duplicates, I need to delete.
All the duplicate files end with '(1)' in the file name, for example: FilenameTest (1) .pdf
I would like to find all files with '(1)' in the name of the file and then delete them, but spotlight search no parenthesis. This seems to be a documented problem (bug?). Is there a syntax or other workaround to force the spotlight to return a search with the bracket?
Thanks in advance.
The Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open the Script Editor and run the following exactly as shown:
Tell application "Finder".
Remove (each point of (choose folder) whose name contains '(1)')
tell the end

search for file names with tilde character
trying to locate all the file name containing the tilde (~) character. It is obviously special for the search as a search looking for files with this character corresponds to each file. I can't find the mechanism to quote the tilde so that Windows will search for files containing the tildes in name literally.
You expect to be easy to find the answer, but then I found others asking the question. I can't find the answer.

The search for file names with a tilde ("" ~ ")
In Windows Explorer, how can I search for filenames containing a tilde? I tried the name: ~, but this seems to find all the files. I tried going to ADVANCED search and specifying, ~ * ~ *, ' ~ ', etc. and he always seems to find all files. "It's a drag, since all these tilde files are probably temporary which can be deleted.

How and why does a file name as 20160312103251.m2ts becomes 0003.mts?
How and why does a file name as 20160312103251.m2ts becomes 0003.mts?
How to make the .m2ts in a .mts?
Hi HiView,
.Mts and .m2ts file extensions is not a real difference as these two are associated with AVCHD files. The file extension can differ depending on how you import the files on your computer. Files that are imported by drag and drop, or transfer them without using PlayMemories House are registered as .mts files. While those who are copied using PlayMemories House are read as .m2ts files. You can change the file extension and also rename the whole file, clicking on the video, then select Properties. The file name and other data will appear to the right of the window. You can then rename or change the format of file through this tab.

Lightroom CC adds "-2" before the extension to the import file name with rename
For some reason, my Nikon D7200 is producing filenames with a underscore ("_DSC0001.nef"). No problem. What I'm trying to do is to rename the files during import. I set up a model as follows:
Instead of getting 'HJRW_20150907_DSC0001 '. NAVE' I get 'HJRW_20150907_DSC0001-2. NAVE.
I deleted the files from Lightroom and reimported as COPY or MOVE, and get the same thing. How to remove the Lightroom file name suffix is added?
Thank you

This occurs because a file already exists in your operating system with the same name in the destination folder.
