deleting different character length

Postby JEPEDEWE » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:19 am

I have this bulk of file names where I would like to keep the first 12 characters of the name and delet the rest...
This rest can be 2 characters or 25 characters long
So.... delete alll characters between position 12 till the last point and the extension:

Burn.Notice.S02E05.Scatter.Point.DVDRip.XviD-REWARD.srt

should be

Burn.Notice.S02E05.srt

Thanks
JP

Remove(5), From:13, To:255

Note: since you want to keep the first 12 signs, we delete all from the 13'th on to the end.
Note: "To:255" could be "To:99", "To:999" or "To:123" also, it should only be greater then your longest file name.
Hint: enter the "To" part first, then the "From" part,... just try it and you see why.
