Dear Support Group,
I need some help in renaming files in folders. I have numerous files such as abcdMRWQM_Chemistry_KL1707384 - Copy.csv with KL1707384 is the running number eg. KL1707384..., KL170738....I wish to shorten the file name as below and doing this for all the files in the folder. To rename: abcdMRWQM_Chemistry_KL1707384 - Copy.csv to MRWQM-Chemistry_KL1707384.csv 1) remove abcd 2) change the first underscore to dash 3) remove - Copy How can I do that? Kindly help. Can I use wildcards like * to maintain those letters i wanted? Thank you. |

Hi. FROM: abcdMRWQM_Chemistry_KL1707384 - Copy.csv TO: MRWQM-Chemistry_KL1707384.csv 1) remove abcd >>> you have to find a common rule to detect that 'abcd', are that for example: always the first four signs? https://www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/metho d_remove 2) change the first underscore to dash >>> ok, can be done, f.ex. with https://www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/metho d_replace 3) remove ' - Copy' >>> ok, can be done, f.ex. with https://www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/metho d_removepattern |
