Moving last few character to the front

Hello,

I'd like to move the last few characters of a file name to the front. Examples:

my cool file name
my cool cool file name
my cool cool cool file name

In all 3 examples above, I want to move "name" to the front, so it becomes:

name my cool file
name my cool cool file
name my cool cool cool file

In other words, to move the last 4 characters of the file name to the front. There is no fixed pattern or length in the file name.

Would appreciate some help on how to do this. Thanks!

To do exactly what you ask - ie move the last 4 characters plus a space to the beginning of the name - use the Replace method with a Regular Expression:

Replace: (.*)(.{4})
with: \2 \1

However this will leave a space at the end of the filename - to remove this use:

Replace: (.*) (.{4})
with: \2 \1

A more general solution that will move all characters following the final space (ie the last word of any length) to the beginning is simply:

Replace: (.*) (.*)
with: \2 \1

Thanks for the help! I will try that out.
