File Name Help - Rename or Move?

I have a lot of files that have added text before the unique file name which has two variables in length.

Example

Mosaic-Removed ABC-123
Mosaic-Removed ABCD-123

I want to move the Mosaic-Removed part to after the last number so it's formatted

ABC-123 Mosaic-Removed
ABCD-123 Mosaic-Removed

Any help is appreciated!

Hi Sunset.

You can use a Replace method and a regular expression.

REPLACE: (\w.+) (\w.+)
REPLACE WITH: $2 $1

Ocurrence: All
Use regular expression checked

Thanks for the quick reply.

Am I using your statements as-is or modifying any of the variables?

Hi.
With your examples work exactly as-is.
Look at the "New File Name" column to see the changes. Perhaps you could provide some real examples.
You can always use "Undo Batch" if there's a problem.

Ok I did not have the new file name column enabled so I can see the formatting now.

Using your variables it took the ending and put in in front?

example -

Orginal file name

Mosaic-Removed IPX-345 I'm Sorry Dad & Mom. AV Debut. Hattori

using your input if did this

Hattori Mosaic-Removed IPX-345 I'm Sorry Dad & Mom. AV Debut.

What I'm trying to do

IPX-345-Mosaic-Removed I'm Sorry Dad & Mom. AV Debut. Hattori

I do have files that the title is not 3 but 4 characters so my thought is add an extra space to account and I can also do a rename cleanup to remove the extra space if needed.

Hi Sunset,
Try this

REPLACE: ^(\w.+) (\w+-\d+)
REPLACE WITH: $2-$1

Use regular expression checked
I hope this will work

Since I have a similar question, I don't want to start a new thread and am asking here.
I have a file: Invoice_from_26.03.2012
I would like to move the date in the file name to the first position: The result should be: 26.03.2012_Invoice_from

I tried using the Shift function
Move from: (\d+)
Move number: 8
Move to: 1
Result: .03.2012Invoice_from_26.
What should the correct formula be?

Hi Hubert,

Personally I'd use the workhorse of regex methods, Replace:

Replace: (.*)_([\d\.]+)
Replace with: $2_$1
Occurrence: All or 1st
Case sens.: unchecked
Use regular expressions: checked
Apply to: Name
(No spaces in expressions)

That says, create a container $1 to capture everything up to an underscore (which is discarded) that is followed by a bunch of numbers and periods, put that into a container $2, and move that container (plus a new trailing underscore) to before $1.
