It sounds like you need a windows script which will go through all of your documents and rename them if needed.

Another option is this Watch directory tool which I have used before. It can do renaming with replacement. You would maybe have to copy files to a folder and then back but it has a 30 day trial period so you can install and test immediately. http://www.watchdirectory.net

Well this is my problem. For example, I have some forms that are saved as "Doe, John.xml" and "Doe, Jane .xml". Due to a mistake in the Save and Close code, some forms have a space before the ".xml". And I have like 20,000 forms in my library so to go through each one is not to much of an option. I can get the filename in JScript by doing the XDocument.URI. But I was wondering if there was an easy way to see if the string contains a " " before the ".xml". Does this make sense?

I do this quite often using the built in InfoPath functions string-before and string-after. These can be nested to do about whatever you want. Unfortunately, I am not sure what the Jscript equivalents would be.

Can you do it within Infopath instead of code? Often you can set up a rule that will just validate the value and if needed strip spaces or whatever.

I would like to be able to search a string in JScript. For example, I would like to be able to search a string for a space, and I will also know what the characters are after the space. For example, say i have a string "Testing." and another string "Testing ." I would like to be able to search to find out if there is a space before the period. Any ideas? thanks
