Name Mangler has a built-in preset to do that—just look in the Presets menu, and select Trim Whitespace. This will remove blanks at the start—and end—of filenames, but not spaces within the filename.

Select “Advanced” then look at the “Snippets” menu for “Trim Whitespace”.  That should do the trick.  It trims leading and trailing spaces.

Hi,

I have TBs data collected and saved in apple mac format.  I've been able to 
remove and replace all special characters as needed but I still have files 
with leading spaces which I foolishly used to sort them to the top of file 
lists.

How do I remove the leading spaces in file names while leaving the other 
spaces intact?

thanks!
