Hello:
Ok, try this
With Folders and subfolders ticked [only], under selections
Regex:
Match:
PP(.*)
Replace:
BB
This will filter only files begining with "PP" to BB in the new name collum. they will be green and you can then use:
You may or may not need this depending on how you file tree looks.
Then under option>> sorting = Group affected files. Hit the name collum sort arrow one more time.
From here try to pick the names you want change with the help from the sub-directories collom.
Then use replace or whatever you need, after you have your files selected
Edit: just seen you want to change folders inside of the PP parent folders also.
This may be hard to do since once finding the parents, after I don't think you can change the inside folders.
Unless you could somehow prepend the parent folder name to the subfolder, then find only the subfolders by searching for your prepended name.
I would try like stated above, and add something to the front of the parent folder names you can use to find the folders you need, then remove it it afterwards.
Like common patterens. _-_ or ---- ect, ect. But messing with folders inside parent folder, you either:
A. Need to have the parent selected as root
B. Need to know the name of the sub folder to change it.
Their is also A path length filter that can maybe help here.
Last is the java option, buy a license and see if the dev can come up with a java code for you
It would be nice if bru allowed this through the regex option, like Rename Master does. by using a sub for \ or folder.
