Rename file names for photo import

Postby jolivette313 » Mon May 15, 2017 8:08 pm

My badge system saves files as fistname-lastname.jpg
Some names have hyphenated names so when I rename using the replace it will change both hyphens to dot.

example:
lucy-smith-thomas.jpg
need it to be
lucy.smith-thomas.jpg

Greatly appreciate any help.

This should work.

RegEx (1)
Match: ([^-]*)-(.*)
Replace: \1.\2
