"New Name" column doesn't show changes?

Postby Guy » Wed Jan 26, 2022 1:56 pm

Hi,

I copy and past correct RegEx commands in the RegEx (1) fields (Match and Replace) for some selected files, but nothing has changed in the "New Name" column. Last night I tried it and it worked very well, now I need to use do it for more files, but today it doesn't work. Reinstalled BRU, and didn't fix it.

Replace (3) section works well, but RegEx (1) doesn't. Any idea where the issue comes from and how to fix it?

Best,
Guy ????

What are your match & replace?
If they are wrong (even though you say correct) or don't actually match, then no changes would be shown.

Like if your match & replace were:

Match: ^&
Replace: abc

and your file name was: UsrClass.dat{810095fc-7b88-11eb-b011-08edb93af2a6}
there is no match with that.

Hi,

I don't know what happened at that time I had the issue, but after that, suddenly BRU worked well and now I can see correct changes in the column. Maybe somebody should delete this post or not and your answer could be helpful for someone else in the scenario you told.

Thank you!
