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.
