Situation:

I like to change the date format (using the dateformater plugin) only for files, which has NOT the european date format.

Example files:

abc 01.08.11 abc.pdf
abc 01-08-11 def.pdf
abc 25-10-2011 xyz.pdf

Selection by name filter:
only the files, which does NOT meet the format xx.xx.xx should be selected.


My test:

The positive selection by this statement works

(?E)(.*)(\d{2}\.\d{2}\.\d{2}).*


But i was not able to use a negative statement with help of "^"

What is your proposal ?

Thanks, stefan

I think the problem is the (?E) which is one of the regular expression extensions I added. THe extensions can only be used in the renaming creator and cannot be used in the name filters.

Try this in the name filter:

(.*)(\d{2}[^\.]\d{2}[^\.]\d{2}).*


Hope that helps.

peter.
