Hello all,

this is my first visit.

i need to change 256 PNG file names.

they are in 4 different formats, i.e. xxx, xxxx_3x1, xxxx_3x2, xxxx_4x3.

i need to change to:

xxxx = xxxx-1
xxxx-3x1 = xxxx-3
xxxx_3x2 = xxxx-6
xxxx_4x3 = xxxx-12

all files are PNG images with PNG extension (xxxx-12.PNG)

is this easy to do?

how would i use RenAmiNg Kit to do this?

many thanks,
billy

Hi,

Add the following to the custom renaming creator (do not include the single quotes):

Row: 1
Search: '(?E)xxxx\-3x1'
Replace: 'AAAA-3'
Row: 2
Search: '(?E)xxxx_3x2'
Replace: 'AAAA-6'
Row: 3
Search: '(?E)xxxx_4x3'
Replace: 'AAAA-12'
Row: 4
Search: 'xxxx'
Replace: 'xxxx-1'
Row: 5
Search: 'AAAA'
Replace: 'xxxx'

Then press scan.
Not sure if you mistyped the '-' in the row 1 example (the other examples used '_'.

Hope that helps.

Peter.

I'll answer the 2 previous posts in this one.

1)
the renaming commands can only be applied to the names of files. Not the content unless it is the comment field of mp3/jpeg tags.

2)
The syntax for the renaming commands is fully documented in the online manual and on the pfrank web site. The syntax for regular expressions is standard but I added a few custom extensions (e.g. the (?E) syntax.

Peter.
