Selectively remove

[bensonave]

Hi all,

My first post

Have a list of files,
123.jpg do not change
123_1_.jpg => 123_1.jpg
123_10_,jpg => 123_10.jpg
1234.jpg do not change
1234_1_.jpg => 1234_1.jpg
1234_10_.jpg => 1234_10.jpg

Only need to change the files with file names ending with _, then remove the last letter of _.

Right now I have to process these manually, with ???_.jpg, then remove the last letter, then ????_?_.jpg, then ????_??_.jpg. I feel kind of dumb when I was doing this manually, can someone point me the right direction ?

Appreciated.

Peter

Hi, bensonave:
Well, one way could be using the "Replace (2)" function as follows:

REPLACE: _.jpg
WITH: .jpg

Before renaming go to "Options > Ignore" and activate "File extensions". Now you can rename.
After you're done, remember to deactivate "File extensions", so it won't conflict with future renaming operations.

Gabriel, Thanks. That was pretty smart.

Hi, Peter; glad it was of help. Here's another (better) way, which uses only one step. Use "RegEx (1)" as follows:

MATCH: (.*)_$
REPLACE: \1

That way you don't need to activate/deactivate "Options > Ignore > File extensions".
It also allows you to rename multiple file formats all in one step, because is independent of the extension .
Best regards,

Gabriel.
