Help - Managed to remove the file extension

Hi guys,

I've manage to remove the period [.] that denotes the file extension so that now i have files that are called filepdf or filenamedoc etc instead of filename.doc and filename.pdf

Would there be a aware to search for the filename and insert the . back into the filename?

Thanks in advance

Accidentally removed file extension

Options/Ignore/FileExtensions=Checked

This designates the last 3chars as the file-extension:
1Regex
(.*)(...)$
\1.\2

If any of these 3char extensions should've been 4char, sort by type, select them, & use:
(.*)(.)\.(...)$
\1.\2\3

(Dont forget to uncheck Ignore-FileExtensions when finished)
