Hi,
I have many files, each with the same name extension. How can I now reverse the "Remove Pattern"? MyNameIsA_12mm_Diffuse_1 MyNameIsB_12mm_Diffuse_2 MyNameIsC_12mm_Diffuse_3 With Remove Pattern MyNameIsA_12mm_ MyNameIsB_12mm_ MyNameIsC_12mm_ Diffuse_1 Diffuse_2 Diffuse_3 How can I now reverse the "Remove Pattern"? Target Diffuse_1, Diffuse_2, Diffuse_1 |

Does anyone ever bother to read the UserGuide?
It should be blindingly obvious - whatever pattern you have used in the Remove pattern method just apply it to a NEW Name method! |

Is it? To make it clear: I have several folders with subfolders. In these subfolders are several files, which always end with Diffuse_1, Diffuse_2, Diffuse_3 and Normal_1, Normal_2 and Normal_3. FOLDER 1 MyNameIsA_12mm_Diffuse_1 MyNameIsB_12mm_Diffuse_2 MyNameIsC_12mm_Diffuse_3 MyNameIsA_12mm_Normal_1 MyNameIsB_12mm_Normal_2 MyNameIsC_12mm_Normal_3 FOLDER 2 MyNameIsA_12mm_Diffuse_1 MyNameIsB_12mm_Diffuse_2 MyNameIsC_12mm_Diffuse_3 MyNameIsA_12mm_Normal_1 MyNameIsB_12mm_Normal_2 MyNameIsC_12mm_Normal_3 Now I want to remove the prefix Diffuse_1 from all files. Then the files are renamed. So, the names Diffuse_1, Normal_1 etc. are needed (<name>). FOLDER 1 Diffuse_1 Diffuse_2 Diffuse_3 Normal_1 Normal_2 Normal_3 FOLDER 2 Diffuse_1 Diffuse_2 Diffuse_3 Normal_1 Normal_2 Normal_3 After that, I will use "New Name" with <DirName> tags. <DirName:4> <DirName:2> <DirName:3> <DirName:1> <Name> FolderX_FolderY_FolderZ_Folder1_Diffuse_1 |

Yes totally obvious - particularly since you claim that you already have a pattern that will remove the suffixes. Replace: .*_(.*_.*)$ with: \1 Use regular expressions |

Thanks David!! I'm not a dev or anything. That's why not everything makes sense for me. But thanks again. Really helpful and I do appreciate your help. |
