Hi, I'm trying to replace spaces with dots within the parentheses in a large list of files.
Files: image - (2021 09 27) T132752.287.png Microsoft Minesweeper 03 05 (2020 04 16) 10 p. m.jpg unnamed - (2022 04 10) T004157.232.jpg etc... Goal: image - (2021.09.27) T132752.287.png Microsoft Minesweeper 03 05 (2020.04.16) 10 p. m.jpg unnamed - (2022.04.10) T004157.232.jpg I was trying Lookahead (regex): Search: \ (=?(\(\d{4})) Replace: . <= dot I also tried to create groups with the spaces but it didn't work either: Search: \d{4}(\ )\d{2}(\ )\d{2} Replace: \.\. I'll apreciate any help. Thanks. |

Replace: .*\K(\d{4}) (\d{2}) (\d{2})
with: \1.\2.\3 Use regular expressions |

Better... Replace: \s+(?=[^(\)]*\)) with: . |
