I have many files with long names, and somewhere in the file is a proper name, Jane,or Tiffany.
ex; IMAGES OF MOON TAKEN BY JANE OVER CITY SKY. LAST DAY OF SPRING, JENNIFER COLD OUTSIDE OCTOBER 2020 WENDY ALL DAY SHOOTING. What i want is file names like JANE, JENNIFER, AND WENDY, AND EVERYTHING ELSE GONE. There are more than 5000 files with over 1500 different proper names. Can this be done? |

Are Jane, Jennifer, and Wendy the only names? Because there are no boundaries defining the names in the filename, you will have to use a list of text strings to search for in the filename. |
