So far I've got
Notepad++ > Search > Replace (with "Regular Expression" button selected)
Find what :
- Code: Select all
\b[a-zA-Z0-9. ].*
Replace with :
- Code: Select all
$0\|$0
Which gives oldname|newname pairs which I can edit in Notepad++ using it's text editing capacities.
(And then when I've edited new file names that I like I save the file and use it in "Import Rename-Pairs".)
(I see on this forum I can also use a spreadsheet to make the pairs. Which is useful to know.)
Has anyone with greater regex knowledge got input on the limitations of the two regexes I'm using or suggestions on how they could be improved?
