Rename each word starting with Capital, BUT excluding specified words

Help & Support
1

Hi,

I'd like to rename a bunch of files such that each word begins with a capital, but I wish to exclude common words such as 'for', 'as', 'a' and also a list of capitalized abbreviations. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

You'll need a rename script.

Could you post a list of characters you want to get included?

No Letters applies to all characters whose case cannot be changed and are not already included in the script (noLetters +=...).

For example, I forgot the @ symbol :blush: .
