Re: [Gprename-users] Instead of eliminating, it duplicate characters.

[<zu...@gm...>]

I don't think it ever worked, it's a To Do in the code at line 1036 :)

Someone should open a bug report about this, maybe someone will pick it 
up in the future and fix it. I'm not gonna bother with it as I hate GTK 
code now.

In your case, there is other ways to achieve it. you could replace mp4 to mp

Or you can use Replace with Regular expression : replace 4$ with nothing


Just for reference, here's the code :

       # Insert
       if ( $insert_radio->get_active and $insert_entry->get_text ne '' ) {
          my $insert_at = $insert_spin->get_value_as_int();
          # TODO: There is an off by one insert here.
          # If $insert_at == -1, we should insert the text at the end. 
Not 1 from the end.
          # This is because there is no such thing as "-0".
          if ( $insert_at > length($new_name) or $insert_at < 
(length($new_name)-(length($new_name)*2)) ) { $insert_at = 
length($new_name); }
          my $tmp_string1 = substr( $new_name, 0, $insert_at );
          my $tmp_string2 = substr( $new_name, $insert_at, 
length($new_name) );
          $new_name = $tmp_string1 . $insert_entry->get_text . $tmp_string2;
       }

       # Delete
       elsif ( $delete_radio->get_active ) {
          my $delete_to = $delete_btw2_spin->get_value_as_int();
          my $delete_from = $delete_btw1_spin->get_value_as_int();
          # TODO: Same off by one issue as in Insert.
          if ( $delete_to > length($new_name) or $delete_to < 
(length($new_name)-(length($new_name)*2)) ) { $delete_to = 
length($new_name); }
          my $tmp_string1 = substr( $new_name, 0, $delete_from );
          my $tmp_string2 = substr( $new_name, $delete_to, 
length($new_name) );
          $new_name = $tmp_string1 . $tmp_string2;
       }
