I have a number of files in a folder:
myfile1-v2.txt
myfile2-v2.txt
myfile3-v2.txt
and want:
myfile1-v3.txt
myfile2-v3.txt
myfile3-v3.txt
Reading the help I would think "-v2/-v3" would work (replace -v2 with -v3) but it loses the root file name. Also "*-v2/*-v3" keeps the root but just appends -v3 instead of replacing -v2 with it.
What's the right way to do this?
Thanks, Rodney
Batch rename
Re: Batch rename
You need to use the "Search and Replace..." rename option (or "RegExp Rename..." if you know regular expression), but not the "Batch Rename..." one for this rename operation

Re: Batch rename
Could it be you're mixing Batch Rename and Search and Replace?
Search and Replace with "v2/v3" as parameter is my way to go here.
Edit: too late.
Edit 2 (to add more value to this): Batch Rename is for cases where you change/decorate an existing base (the original file name w/o extension, hence the "v2" part keeps staying)
