Bulk Rename Utility

I am a newbie. I am working on a project that requires file names that are very similar except for the leading part. I was successfully replacing the leading part of multiple files names. I did this a few times but now, BRU is not working. I am using the latest version: 2,7,1,3 with Win8 Enterprise, 64bit.

Example:
name1-feature1-rating.pdf
name1-feature2-rating.xlxs
name1-feature3-rating.txt

must change to :
name2-feature1-rating.pdf
name2-feature2-rating.xlxs
name2-feature3-rating.txt

With these filenames highlighted in the upper right corner box:
1) in the Replace box I typed: name1
2) in the With box I typed: name2
3) clicked on R box

The rows under the New Name column were changing as I typed name2. Then when I clicked on R, the rows under the Name column and the rows under New Name column updated with name1 changing to name2

This worked as expected a few times. But now clicking on R clears the values typed into the Relace and With boxes and no changes are made to the files names.

This is the only feature I have tried. I was very careful not to change the other default values. I uninstalled BRU and reinstalled it with no improvement.
Is this a bug? Or am I an idiot? (I hope I am an idiot )

BTW, I am very impressed with this utility when it is working.

That is what the [R] is supposed to do: resetting the entered values to the default 'nothing'.

As the help states:

The Main Screen

Command Buttons

· R - at the top of each group of controls there is a button entitled simply R. This will reset the criteria in that particular box.

Perhaps something other is going on? Please read the help again to get familiar with BRU.


 

Well I was an Idiot.

Somehow I got into my head that the R button stood for Replace. On the first day I used BRU, day, when BRU was working as expected, I was clicking the Rename button as required. The next day, I must have had a stoke and started clicking the R (reset) button by mistake.

Thank you Steran for you quick resonse.
