Sorry if this is posted somewhere but I can't find it. After doing a rename on several files I have a bunch of files that look like this

WhatIsThisToBe.doc

I would like to add a space between every word. They already have capitalization correct so figured the expression seperate lower case from upper case that you have in the drop down would do it but it finds nothing when doing the scan.

Is there something else I should be setting up for this to work so that I have a file that looks like this:

What Is This To Be.doc

Thank you

Hi,

I did the following:
1)
pasted WhatIsThisToBe.doc into the sample name field.
2)
From the pre-defined regex menu, selected : Separate Upper Case From Lower Case in All
3)
cllicked the 'insert in list' button that is next to the regex menu so that the expression is inserted in the renaming creator
4)
observed that 'WhatIsThisToBe.doc' from the sample name panel became 'What Is This To Be.doc' on the preview line.
5)
Pressing Scan should work at this point.

I know that the regex works. Not sure what you did wrong. Maybe the current folder is not correct, maybe the name filter is incorrect or maybe the regular expression was not inserted ... or maybe something else.

If the above does not help and you can't get things working, then send me a copy of the summary that is displayed at the bottom of the main window.

Peter.

Apparently I had a Vista Only version installed and I am using Windows XP.

Once I downloaded the correct version things work as they are supposed to.

Thank you.
