Hi.
Is it possible, to rename a File with use variables/Regex-Matches from the parent folder?

eg. File:
parent\Folder123\MyFileName.txt

Replace it to:
parent\Folder123\MyFileName_123.txt

I've tried to use this Regex, but it doesn't work.
Search-Pattern:
Code:
Folder(\d+)/\(.*).txt

Replace-Pattern:
Code:
Folder\1/\\2_\1.txt


Is this possible?

Or better: Direct move the file to the parent folder.. so i have in the "parent"-folder the files of MyFileName_123.txt?

Hope you can help me.

- Tyri

When you rename using regular expressions, the expression only processes the filename. It knows nothing about the parent folders.
You have to use the pre-defined 'insert parent folder' command in combination with regular expressions to do what you want.

e.g.

Row: 1
Search:
Replace: '*Insert Folder after*Prefix*'
Custom Format String for Insertion:
'%P1Folder%'
Row: 2
Search: Folder'
Replace:


Use row 1 to bring the parent folder name into the filename and then use the remaining rows to massage the combination.

Hope that helps.

Peter.
