Bulk Rename Utility How-To's

Move & replace

Postby MrMix » Thu Mar 09, 2023 6:06 pm

Hello,
first of all, thank you for this great program, it saved me hours of typing !
I have around 1000 files to be renamed but I'm stuck.
The first 6 characters should be moved and replace the character '-' somewhere in the name of the file.
Example:

Before
(1567)aaaaa - reedjjdue.log
(8645)werethzeheh - zrzrzzrz.log

After
aaaaa (1567) reedjjdue.log
werethzeheh (8645) zrzrzzrz.log

Is there any solutions ?
Thank you in advance
MM

Try using RegEx(1)
Enable the "Simple" option

Then:

Match: (%1)%2 - %3
Replace: %2 %1 %3

See help file for more info.
