Rename PDF based on REGEX value inside the file

[grishmabeli6]

Hello, I have thousands of .pdf files, all of them have a value that I can easy find by using a regex within the first few lines of the file. The regex value is the member number of each record, is there a way to batch rename all these .pdf based on that number inside the file.

With BRU, generally, no.

With BRU & JavaScript, perhaps, but I wouldn't know about that.


Though you might be able to script something?
Set up a loop to go through your .pdf
Grep (search) them (presumably something keyword within each file pointing to your wanted value), searching for this "value" within
Parse that found value to get only the part you want, your "value"
Rename the file REN filename filename+value
Loop:
