Bulk Rename Utility

1:RegEx

Code: Select all

Match:  ^(18\d\d\d\d.*)$
Replace:  20\1


Match all files that start with 18, followed by 4 digits, followed by anything else.
Prefix those files with, 20.

Alternatively, you could pre-select, by various means, only files that start with 18, & then use:

7:Add -> Prefix: 20

One method to select would be:

12:Filters -> Mask: ^18\d\d\d\d (& checkmark, RegEx, box)

I would do it in two steps.
1. Add a 20 to the start of every filename.
Now some start 202018... and some start 2018...
2. Replace 2020 by 20 in every file.

Sorry, ignore this - I had missed that some files don't have a date at all.

For the records, if you have a commercial license for BRU, then you can use a simple javascript routine:

Code: Select all

if (name.substring(0,2)== '18') newName = '20' + name;

JAVASCRIPT renaming is only supported with a commercial license.
