Hi all,
I do have a lot of folders and files which i need to rename, i have figured some but some others are so difficult, i appreciate it if anyone can help.
Case 1 - Where first 2 digits could be any number.
01 filename =>01. filename "this case where first 2 digits could be any number"
02 filename=> 02. filename
Case 2 - Search folder for files, but need to ignore first 4 digits and show result without them so i can sort them.
1985 filename => filename
1999 filename => filename

Rename Special - RegExp Rename...
Use this pattern:
For the second thing you need a custom column with a script...
Enter:
snippet;
in the address bar and execute it with {ENTER}
Insert this snippet in that window:
Code: Select all
Snip: CustomColumn 1

Thanks Highend, i could execute the first code and it works, i can change # 2 according to how many digits i have.
The 2nd code i can't execute it as it is for PRO version and snippet is not allowed.
Really appreciated.

Can't do anything against that. It's only possible by using a custom column

You would need to learn regex to be able to do "everything" with it...
XY uses the regex engine from Visual Basic 6
