Subfoder:

You can do this using RegEx and the Replace method. Assuming that the year will always be YYYY and not YY:

Text to be replaced : (.*)(\d{4})(.*)
Replace with : \1 \3

Use Regular Expressions : Ticked

Please note that if the year is part of the movie name, like say, Bread Slicer 2049, then you will have to modify the method to mention the value of "Occurrence".

replace with "." but no joy
and also because I am curious what is the exact meaning of the expressions
(.*)(\d{4})(.*)
and
\1 \3

RTFM!

Read the introduction to Regular Expressions in the ARen User Guide: www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/regular_expresions

That should answer at least some of your questions.

Reply to #6: like you said
The FM part you referred me to is not easy to grasp if you are not a nerd
Sorry for asking

ARen manuals are as easy to understand as they come.

Anyway, use "\1\3" instead of "\1 \3", see if it helps.

You basically are asking us to repeat what has already been provided for you by Kim in the User Guide!

I repeat: Read the introduction to Regular Expressions in the ARen User Guide: www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/regular_expresions

That should answer at least SOME of your questions.

Aspects of Regular Expressions do take a bit of effort to grasp - I too did not have a clue how to use them before I discovered Advanced Renamer, just a few months ago. If you still find yourself stuck on some difficult aspects then post here again, but you must demonstrate that you have made at least some effort yourself.
