Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to rename the date format of my files as follows: 1) Original [03 1, 1980]Filename1.txt [12 17, 1990]Filename2.txt 2) Want to be renamed with the data format inside the square brackets changed to YYYYMMDD [19800301]Filename1.txt [19901217]Filename2.txt Thanks, |

You will need to do this using two methods - both in the same batch:
1) Zero-pad the day to 2 digits 2) Reformat the date 1) Renumber method: Number position: 2 Change to: Relative to existing number Number difference: 0 Zero padding: Manual Number length: 2 2) Replace method... Text to be replaced: \[\K(\d{2}) (\d{2}), (\d{4}) Replace with: \3\1\2 If any of your filenames have a single digit month you will need to add a second Renumber method (before the Replace) to zero-pad the month to 2 digits - exactly the same as the first but with Number position: 1 |
