Hello,
I have over 1000 files like this below that have the work video at the end:
1941Video.mp4
I need to rename all so there is a hyphen between the name and the word video like this:
1941-Video.mp4
I just can't figure it out.
Please advise.

1:RegEx
- Code: Select all
Match: (.*)([Vv]ideo)$
Replace: \1-Video
In any file name that ends in 'video',
match everything up to the word 'video',
then stick a dash between.

I guess I don't use the GUI for that?
Also is there a way to make the first letter lower case instead of uppercase?

Along with the RegEx provided,
Section #4: Case -
set to Lowercase
output becomes 1941-video.mp4
By the way, the BRU is the GUI. I believe you are referring to the criteria other than RegEx - but that is actually Section #1: RegEX in the criteria.
The BRC program is a separate program that is not GUI based, it is a command line utility. What is a GUI? - a user interface that allows you to interact
with the program graphically. BRC does not. So I am presuming that you meant that you don't have to use the other criteria that is not RegEx, but if
you want lowercase you have to use both.
