this renamer is wonderful. however I am having trouble renaming files that start with anywhere from 5 to 10 numbers and I want to keep only digits 6 through 10 and keep the rest of the filenames after the numbers.

To make sure I give you the best advice, could you give me an example of a filename you want to rename and the name you want it to have? |

OK, here are some file names: 0000010229L-07D-SMP-3D1 0000010229L-07D-SMP-3D2 0000010229L-07D-SMP-3D3 000000039L-07D-CXX-3D1 000000039L-07D-CXX-3D2 000000039L-07D-CXX-3D3 here are the name i would like to have: 10229L-07D-SMP-3D1 10229L-07D-SMP-3D2 10229L-07D-SMP-3D3 00039L-07D-CXX-3D1 00039L-07D-CXX-3D2 00039L-07D-CXX-3D3 I would like the number to be 5 digits, removing the extra zeros at the left side. the tricky part for me is that not all numbers have the same number of of digits. regrards, alex |

I think you can use the renumbering method to change the number of zeros to pad the file with. Try to add the Renumber Method and configure it like this: Number position: 1 Change to: Relative to existing number Number difference: 0 Zero padding: Manual Number length: 5 If this does not work, I can try something else. |
