So far this program has been a godsend when using to rename my files. Everything I've looked for for years. Just one thing I have not been able to figure out. I have about 20K video files to rename and all of them end in a randomly generated bracketed sequence such as:
[D6JG28OX] [37VFSJ89] [GKJ52VJ9] All an 8 digit alpha numeric sequence inside brackets. I just need whatever formula is necessary to identify this sequence at the end of each file and delete it. Each file name is a varying lengths being named and numbered differently in different sets. If there is a formula that will just see the end sequence and delete it and its brackets that will save me going thru each file separately to delete it. Please help. |

If the bracket sequence is the last part of the filename then the [Remove] method will do it... Remove Count: 10 (11 if there's a space) Starting at: 1 Backwards: Yes Use Regular Expressions: No |

If all your filenames have this suffix then all you need to do is remove the last 10 characters from the file name: Remove method Remove count: 10 Starting at: 1 Backwards. Otherwise, to detect and remove exactly 8 characters within brackets, at the end of the filename use the Remove pattern method with the regular expression \[.{8}\]$ |
