Hello,
I try to add color codes to lots of files following this: ORIGINAL FILE NAMES: 123-222330-blue-34.jpg 123-222335-blue-34.jpg 123-222334-night-blue-34.jpg 123-222333-night-blue-34.jpg 123-222335-blue-denim-34.jpg 123-222336-blue-denim-34.jpg CHANGE INTO: 123-222330-117-blue-34.jpg 123-222335-117-blue-34.jpg 123-222334-226-night-blue-34.jpg 123-222333-226-night-blue-34.jpg 123-222335-331-blue-denim-34.jpg 123-222336-331-blue-denim-34.jpg When I use replace list, I get files like "123-222334-night-117-blue-34.jpg", I didn't find the right method yet. I hope somebody can help me! |

Simple! Only add a colour code if "-<colour->" is both preceded and followed by numerical digits.
List Replace using regular expressions... Replace: \d\K(-blue-)(?=\d) with: -117\1 (=?\d) is a "lookahead", which is an instruction to match the preceding pattern only if it is followed by a digit (\d). Unfortunately the corresponding "lookbehind" (?<=\d) is not available in the regex flavour used by Advanced Renamer (PCRE) so we have to use a workaround: "\d(-blue-)" will match a digit followed by "-blue-" and the character "\K" is an instruction to exclude any preceding matched characters from the final result. Placing a pattern in parentheses ie (-blue-) means that any resulting match will be saved in a numbered variable (\1 in this case) , which can be recalled in the replacement string. |

Thank you very much!! I'm new to Advanced Renamer and didn't know all the characters yet. The list replace worked now! |
