Thank you!

Try this.

RegEx (1)
Match: (.*)(.{11})
Replace: \2

There are some unexpected results when having arabic, russian or emojis in the name though:

When using the black heart emoji in the folder: http://emojipedia.org/emoji/%E2%9D%A4/

It won't get the code.

Folder - <<EMOJI> - AxYs34ep1ko

Is there any way to fetch from there too?

Are you saying it is not working for a file name such as:

"Folder - ? - AxYs34ep1ko.TXT"

Because that looks to work here.


(Ah, I see the board ate the :heart:, so in my name, '?' would be the :heart: emoji.)

It seems to be working for me to, I've tried it with several emoji and Arabic characters in the same file name and it seems to work fine.
