Rename file by transposing text

Hello, I have some files that are named like
Code: Select all
A Video File-01.mp4
Another, A Video File-105.mp4
Yet Another, A Video File-568941.mp4
I want to transpose or swap the text part with the number part so it'll look like
Code: Select all
01 A Video File.mp4
105 Another, A Video File.mp4
568941 Yet Another, A Video File.mp4
The dash "-" isn't important. What's the easiest way of doing this?

You can use the context menu on these files with:
Rename Special - RegExp Rename...
and this pattern:
Note:
Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Context Menus | File List...
[x] Rename Special
must be checked!
or you select your files and execute this script:
Code: Select all
foreach($file, "<get SelectedItemsNames |>") {
renameitem(regexreplace(gpc($file, "base"), "^(.*)-(\d+)$", "$2 $1"), $file);
}
