Newbe question - From m**_**_******.jpg to m**_**.jpg

[wfr]

Hi,
I have files with the following structure:

m**_**_******.jpg

The part with the _****** has a variable length. I want to remove this part.
So the end result is:

m**_**.jpg

Example:

m14_01_eynb0e_c_scale,w_867.jpg
should become:
m14_01.jpg

Thank you

From m**_**_******.jpg to m**_**.jpg

Try this

RegEx (1)
Enable Simple flag
Match: m%1_%2_%3.jpg
Replace: m%1_%2.jpg

Thank you for the tip, but I couln't get it to work. Did I miss something?

My steps:

RegEx (1):

Match: m%1_%2_%3.jpg
Replace: m%1_%2.jpg
Simple Flag enabled

Files highlighted

Thank you

It needs a checkmark inside for the menu "Renaming Options, File/Folder Extensions, Rename File Extensions".
But this can be a very dangerous setting, so its good to always remove it when you're finished renaming!
Amother way is adding a checkmark for "Inc.Ext." and then just remove ".jpg" from your "Replace".

That works!

Thank you very much!

1:RegEx (do not enable, Simple)

Code: Select all

Match:  (.*)(_.*)
Replace: \1


Match anything, greedily, up to the final _ followed by anything else.
Only keep the first matched part.

Yes, sorry , if you want to ignore the file extension use :
Match: m%1_%2_%3
Replace: m%1_%2
