Regular Expression

Type: Texutal Rename

Regular expressions provide great power and flexibility when it comes to matching strings.

For each file in the table, NameChanger will find the first block of text that matches the given regular expression in the Original Text field and replace it with the text from the New Text field. If the regular expression does not match a particular file, that file will not be renamed.
The Force Unique option can be used to prevent name collisions from the resulting name changes.
To avoid changing file extensions, the Hide Extensions option can be used.


For back references use $1, $2, etc, to match the corresponding parenthesized grouping from the matching text. This is an excellent way to rearrange existing filenames.
