bjwest Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had experience using Bulk Rename Utility program? I have a bunch of Amiga videos that I need to rename and I am unsure how to go about it. Typical file names are as like this example: GameABC_v1_1234.mp4 GameCBA_v2.7_6556.mp4 Gameblahblah_v1.1_342.mp4 What I am wanting to do is remove all text from "_V....." while keeping the extension .mp4 in place. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexis524 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 @bjwest, i've use in the past extensively and can confirm it does just what the program states. It probably saved me years of work renaming ROMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should do as OP intended and has many more functions for cleaning up filenames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirulan Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Do this with a combination of RegEx and replace in Bulk Rename Utility: Regex: Match: (.*?_) Replace: \1 Rename: Match: _ Replace: empty Hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eirulan Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Glad it works. Regex in BRU is a bit of a PITA at first, because it comes with it's own syntax that does not match with Regexes you build with Regex builders like regexr.com A quick overview can be found here: http://www.s3.tgrmn.com/bru/BRU_Manual.pdf Page 30ff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
