Remove characters from file names

Question

I am trying to remove spaces and parentheses from files with a specific extension. can anyone give me a real world example of python code to accomplish this?

Answer 1

A small workaround till a good solution :
1. Read the file contents
2. Save the filename in a variable (if possible)
3. Trim the string (in Java you have the String.trim() method)
4. Create a new New file with the name of the trimmed variable and save the saved content in it
5. Delete original file

Hope this helps

Answer 2

I need to do it for a large number of files

Answer 3

In that case maybe in A loop. But then this is not a good solutions because it would take too much time
