Title: Multi-Rename
Post by: Theodor82 on December 02, 2024, 00:50:42

Hi I have installed this nice program for a few days but I would like help from the community as regards Multi-Rename. I make a concrete example: I have 3 files to rename:
(1) xyz.mp3
(1) Yzj.mp3
(2) ZVK.mp3
Now I would like to delete '(1)' and '(2)' leaving Only the title and extension. With the previous program it was enough for me to do (*) and the result was
xyz.mp3
Yzj.mp3
ZVK.mp3 (result I desired).
I hope I was clear and if there is a solution I would have really very grateful. I point out that I use Windows11 as S.O., MultiCommander (x64) v.14.3 (build 3042)
Thanks again  :)

In the "Search and Replace" panel:

1. Check RegEx option
2. In the left edit field enter "\(\d*\)\s*" (without quotes) leaving the right edit field empty
3. Optionally select Replace only name

OR use

Code: [Select]

[N,4]
as FileName

[N] - for filename
,4 -  Start from the 4 character , making it jump past the "(#) " part

But Jungles example are better if you have numbers inside the parentheses of variable length
