I'm new to BRU but was working on a similar issue; instead, I was trying to restructure a file name. What I eventually did was (and I suggest you try this) is create a text file with both the old and new file name(s). i.e. AB12345 - 01 - Artist - Title.mp3 and...AB1234501 - Artist - Title.mp3. Type a pipe symbol between both file names -no space- (each file name on a separate line), save the file as *.txt and import it into BRU at File - import repairs. Go to the folder where files are located in BRU and highlight; you should now see the new/old file name(s)... then click Rename button.
I'm sure RegEx does this but I've not learned it yet.
