Hi.
I downloaded and currently trying this program, I can already say that is excellent and a real time saver. I've done some batch renaming of folders without any trouble, but now I can't figure out how to rename some folders like this: Original name: [ABC] - 1000 - yadda yadda yadda Now, I want it to be renamed to: [ABC 1000] yadda yadda yadda Is it possible? How can I do it? Thanks very much! |

Try List replace with two entries...
1) Replace "] -" with nothing 2) Replace " -" with "]" |

Thanks very much for your message, but I unfortunately made a typo in the original folder name: the original it's really like this: [ABC] - 1000 - yadda yadda - yadda yadda your formula almost did it. it became like this: [ABC 1000] yadda yadda] yadda yadda I tried to remove the extra ] but without success. In fact, what I really want is to become like this: [ABC 1000] yadda yadda - yadda yadda Would you help me again? Thanks a lot. |

1) Replace "] -" with nothing 2) Replace "\d\K -" with "]" Use regular expressions The regular expression "\d\K -" will only match " -" if it is preceded by a decimal digit ("\K" is an instruction to forget any preceding matching characters - in this case the final zero). |

Wow, that did it, thanks very much! I hope I can master this program the same way as you. :) I just registered after this, it's worth every dollar, and the registration message is funny, haha. :) |
