FROM:
This is test (sample).ext
TO:
THIS IS TEST (sample).ext


Utilize New case method
https://www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/metho d_newcase

with option "Set pattern to upper case"

with an Regular Expression
"match one-or-more of any sign till first opening parenthesis"

- - - - - - - - -

TRY:

New case method
Set pattern to upper case
Pattern:   .+\(
☑ Use regular expressions checkbox is checked



- - -

For text after "(...)"-parenthesis, add another method but now with Pattern:   \).+

And maybe just to show what I've been learning from Stefan's RegEx posts :) .....

With This is test (sample).txt

Apply 2 New Case Methods

Method 1
Set upper case
Apply to Name

Gives THIS IS TEST (SAMPLE).txt

Method 2
Set pattern to lower case
Pattern: \(.*\)
Apply to Name

Gives THIS IS TEST (sample).txt

Only works properly with one set of ( ). If you have more, maybe Stefan can help with the RegEx!

Well done Mark, but...



Mark> Set pattern to lower case
Chris > and (sample) stay as it is

as maybe in:
This is test (Sample).ext ==> THIS IS TEST (Sample).ext
