Hi
Your application is great. Saved me from days of terrible, manual job. I want to save some even more time, but I met some minor, I hope, problems. I tried several commands, but I cant force the application to move the words to the position I want. I have a lot of directories I need to change the name. Directory name contains two words I want to have in opposite order. So the task is to rename folders from "first second" to "second first". I guess I should use option Move, but what about parameters? |

It's difficult to say without knowing the pattern of you file names and the pattern of the new preferred file names. |

Its about directories with names and lastnames. I have a directory called "John Smith" and I want this directory to have a name "Smith John". |

If there are only two2 words its very easy just use the replace method Text to replace: (.*) (.*) Replace with: \2 \1 use regular expressions but this only works if thereis only one firstname and one lastname there is no "charakter" between the names? then its a lot harder to tell AR where the firstname stops and the lastname starts. |

Thank you so much. AR became even more brilliant now. BTW it works with 3 words string too. Changes John J Nance to Nance John J, which is ok for me. |
