keeping only last n of characters

[chad_thompson]

Is there a way I can rename a file to keep, say only the last 5 characters of the filename?

example: if I have abcdefg_85101.jpg, and I have 985101.jpg

and I just want to keep the 85101 in both of them?

Thanks,
Chad

Hello

Under remove there is an option to crop before a char

thanks

Hi,

thanks for the reply. I cannot remove/crop before a certain character, as each filename is vastly different. the only solution I've found is to sort by length, and then highlight the ones with the same length, and remove all but the last 8 characters.

You can use RegEx(1)
Match: .+(.{5})
Replace: \1

Explanation:
.+ => first, find one or more of any char
.{5} => after then, match 5 peaces of any char
( ) => group for back reference
\1 => use content of group No.1 (we have only 1 group,but there could be more, and in group 1 are the last 5 chars)
