Use the Replace method using Regular expressions...

Replace: \((.*) (.*) (.*)\)
with: (\2 \1 \3)

You make it seem so easy. Thanks for your help plus I have learned something again. Cheers !

David this works very well here on your amazing program. I tried the regex on some other programs & it returns with 321 not switching the actual words. Is that because the PCRE library is being used or does your regex not work in perl or other formats. Curious I am to learn. Thanks again.

Reply to #4:

It's not my program - I'm just an occasional user! The author is Kim Jensen, to whom great credit is due - see: www.advancedrenamer.com/about

The way you use Regex varies between applications so it's difficult to comment on your issue.
For example: the equivalent solution using the Script method in ARen (ie JavaScript) would be:
return item.name.replace(/\((.*) (.*) (.*)\)/, "($2 $1 $3)");

However there are frequently problems with quantifiers such as * and ? being "greedy" - so that a match may include more of the string than desired.

Try the Regex: \(([^ ]*) ([^ ]*) ([^ ]*)\)

This explicitly searches for three sub-strings of characters not including spaces, separated by single spaces.

I stand corrected thanks to Kim for this amazing program & to you David for all the help you're offering. I come by here once in a while to learn & you are so helpful to so many people. Thanks again I appreciate learning from your examples. Cheers
