Request: new renaming function: ignore character

[surfacecleanerz]

Hello,

It would be very great, if XNView would get a new function for renaming files: Let me explain it with an example. I have files "DSCN12000 picture.jpg" - "DSCN12001 Foto.jpg". And now iI want to rename them to "1 picture.jpg" - "2 Foto.jpg". I think this is impossible with the functions implemented, yet. The second part of the filename should be untouched, only the first part should be converted. A problem is, that the second part is of variable length, because I use it for tagging the pictures with what is shown on them.

Thanks for that great software!

regards,
Stefan

Ok, not so easy

Hello,

You're right not so easy, but possible I think.

The first part has always the same length. So it should be possible to exchange it.

No i have to drive to CeBit...

RegExp (PCRE) would work here, but it's not exactly the easy to use for the end user :)

Hello !

• OMG ! Right ! Paul “Ouistiti”-friend and I have translated the PCRE doc into French for a help folder in a soft we deal with,
it was a fortnight-job and a real nightmare.
- Moreover, that library is very powerful, but not gratis…

Hello !

• We found out a mirror site which has the whole original PCRE docs HERE in English.
- Some original pages @ Cambrige University have been moved¦renamed¦deleted,
hence it was impossible to follow the original links…

…ok not the french version

- It's a pity, because the French version for that soft is BEAUTIFUL See :  “Expressions régulières”…
