Remove Everything After *jpg*

How do I remove everything after .jpg?

I have tried cropping with Remove(5) and RegEx
Code: Select all
Match: (.*?)The.*
but can't get anything to work


Example file:
001_15914895.jpg_v=1&k=default&t=1707019200&p=1&s=ABwzLJKbf64G6kRktEVbqSIO_HaAaKF8zAEUmAznDfo

Hi, is .jpg part of the extension? In the Renaming menu
File/Folder Extensions > Rename File Extensions as Being Part of the File Name
With this option selected, the file name extensions will be ignored and your renaming operations will always affect the entire file name. Use this option with great care, as Windows relies on the file name extension to decide what to do with a file.

Rename extensions starting with .jpg

After putting the checkmark inside for "Renaming Options, File/Folder Extensions, Rename File Extensions".
Then RegEx(1) could probably just use a "Match" and "Replace" something like...
(.+\.jpg)
\1

But with any names like start.jpg-middle-end.mp4, its much safer with something like...
(.+\.jpg)[^.]+$
\1
