Need help with simple numbering problem

Postby minititof » Mon Jun 20, 2016 3:18 pm

Hello!

First of all, I tried using the app myself but I can't manage to do what I want, so I will describe my problem here to you and hope that someone could help me.
I have a file called "paper-input.html" and I need 99 copies of it in total. I want them to be called paper-input.html (original), paper-input2.html, paper-input3.html ... paper-input100.html.
So I copied and pasted the same file in the same folder, and now I have the original file plus 99 copies with the following name: paper-input - Copy (7).html etc.
Therefore I would like to remove the " - Copy (x)" part and add the numbering.

Help would be more than welcome, thanks!

Note that this will not create the files, rather only rename existing files in the format you've shown.

-------

1.RegEx

Code: Select all
Match:  (.*?)
Replace:  \1

(Note that in the Match, there is a <space> following the closing paren, ")<space>".)

10.Numbering

Mode: Suffix
Start: 2

If one needs to create files, something like this might help (& untested by me), FileTool.

I simply copied the said file and pressed CTRL V 50 times, works well too.
