remove the last word

is there a chance to remove the last word?
example:
Lolita.LOLITA-01-ABOOK-Nabokov.Vladimir
>>
Lolita.LOLITA-01-ABOOK-Nabokov

Replace method...

Replace: \.[^\.]*$
with: leave blank
Use regular expressions

I'm sorry but it doesn't work

That is because of the confusion between "." as part of the filename and "." as the separator between filename and extension. Windows will always assume that the end-most instance of "." indicates the extension and will treat any previous instances as plain text.

Thus.
In: Lolita.LOLITA-01-ABOOK-Nabokov.Vladimir
filename = "Lolita.LOLITA-01-ABOOK-Nabokov"
and extension = ".Vladimir"

In this case you can remove ".Vladimir" by simply deleting the extension...

Replace: *
with: blank
Use regular expressions: NOT checked
Apply to: Extension

However, in the result "Lolita.LOLITA-01-ABOOK-Nabokov"
the filename is now just "Lolita"
and the new extension will now be: "LOLITA-01-ABOOK-Nabokov"

Note that ARen will show an Error message "Extension changed" but this is only a warning and the batch will run and delete the extensions.

Using "." as part of a filename is always a bad idea!

I had assumed that your example just showed the filename and there would also an unspecified extension - eg "Lolita.LOLITA-01-ABOOK-Nabokov.Vladimir.txt" - in which case my solution will work.

I think I forgot to mention that I want to rename folders, sorry

If you are renaming folders then there is no reason why my original solution would not work.

I can confirm the folder "Lolita.LOLITA-01-ABOOK-Nabokov.Vladimir" is renamed to "Lolita.LOLITA-01-ABOOK-Nabokov", as required.

Check that you are entering the arguments correctly...
