I have thousands of files to rename that are in this format: 00403_400050-002
I would like it to read like this: 400050_00403-002 So I want to swap PartA with PartB without moving PartC. PartB is always 6 digits, but Parts A and C vary in each file, so I cannot use the move method. I thought I might be able to use the swap method, but I am not able to only swap two parts and leave the other alone. Is there a way to make this happen in Advanced Renamer? Thanks :) |

Yes, use the following: Method: Replace Text to be replaced: ^(.+?)_(.+?)-(.+?) Replace with: \2_\1-\3 Occurence: 1st Case sensitive: Unchecked Use regular expression: Checked Apply to: Name this regex will allow each number to expand or contract, but will not allow the delimiters to change. First has to be "_" and second "-" it could be better, but that would require more information on the extreme cases of the filenames.. cheers! |
