Reverse folder date

Hello,

Though Sony makes excellent DSLRs, unfortunately their mediocre software saves folders using only one date format option: MM_DD_YYYY i.e starting with the month!!!

Since this creates a whole mess in sorting the folders, I am wondering if I can setup BRU to read the current folder name and reverse it i.e change it to YYYY_MM_DD...

The simplest way is to map the pattern to a regular expression. Add a Replace Method and configure it like this:

Text to be replaced: (\d\d)_(\d\d)_(\d\d\d\d)
Replace with: \3_\2_\1
Use regular expressions: Checked

I hope this works for you

Kim> Replace with: \3_\2_\1

Kim is right, that will reverse the date,

FROM:
MM_DD_YYYY
TO:
YYYY_DD_MM






but from the given examples the user wants to reorder the date:

FROM:
MM_DD_YYYY
TO:
YYYY_MM_DD

Replace with: \3_\1_\2
