I'm trying to rename files with different structures.
"abc - def - hij - 01 - myfile.mp3"
"def - hij - 01 - myfile.mp3"
"hij - 01 - myfile.mp3"
Is there a way to go to the last dash, over a space and then delete all in front that? So I end up with: "myfile.mp3"

Sure.

Copy the following into the custom renaming creator and press scan (do not enter the single quotes):

Row: 1
Search: '(?E).*\- '
Replace:

With the above expression, everything up to the last dash + space will be replaced with nothing.

Hope that helps.

Peter.
