Hey all.

Is there a way to search Box folders for a specific text, e.g. blah blah_500, and then remove it, e.g. 500.  I want to remove all indications in a certain Box folder of 500.

Is there a way?

    Hi Sean, 

    Welcome to Box Community! 

    How are these texts relevant to your folders? Is this a text within the document(s) or is it a file/folder name? 

    We'll await for you reply!

    Hi Rona!

    Thanks for hopping in. 

    The text is part of the folder structure:
    BOX2_O6yI1uP9z-Gfs6gXruDqog.png

    So the idea would be to go through all our folders, and rid any mention of 5.00, or 500, etc.
