First RegEx attempt

Postby haukurhannes » Mon May 01, 2017 5:39 pm

Hey!

I just came across the Bulk Rename Utility and I'm working on a sample library which includes almost 75.000 files.
RegEx terrifies me since I have zero experience but I think that this could be the thing that fixes my issues, all help would be most appreciated!

My current string is for instance:

"HiHatRR1_China_Choke_1_50_27"

And what I would need it to be is

"HiHatChinaRR1_Choke_1_50_27"

The issue that I have is that not all of my files have an equal amount of characters (for instance "OHMonoRR5_Snare3_Rimshots_106_115_40") but all of them would need the same treatment; the part between the first underscore and the second to be moved before the "RR" and the additional underscore deleted.

Any and all help would be immensely appreciated!

This should work.

RegEx (1)
Match: (.*)(RR\d*)_([^_]*)(.*)
Replace: \1\3\2\4
