rename the middle of the file, where some strings vary

[andywsz]

Hi all,

I have a ton of files containing a string I want to remove, but the middle of the string, the for numbers are different almost each time. Here is an example:
"kontakt lista_DiskStation_Oct-18-0733-2024_DownloadConflict.xls"
I want to rename all files to this: "kontakt lista.xls"

Not only that but a copy this result file is already in the folder which I want to overwrite with the renamed version!
Any help, please!

I think removing the last 46 characters will just do what I want. Ok, how to to that?

To remove the last 46 chars you can use Remove (5) -> last n

[Admin]

To remove all text after the first _ use File Segment -> From: _ with File Name (2) -> Remove.

In the renaming options, you can set BRU to overwrite target renamed file if it already exists.

Great, thanks, it worked. Just changed 16000 filenames:-)
