First of all, to access this function, you need to download this Microsoft application :

Once the application is installed, go to the Leviia player as shown below :

In the "Apply to" section, select "Filename Only" from the drop-down menu. Then in "Search for", put a dot (to find dots in files) but you can also put another special character like $ (depending on which one(s) you want). Then in the "Replace with" box, you'll need to put a dash.
This gives you :
