Rename - Search and replace

Post by Techworks »

Why is it the simple things are never obvious?

I have a number if files with a naming syntax e.g

2995-090227-03a-INW-WhatPower-Response.pdf
2995-090227-03b-INW-WhatPower-Quote.pdf
2995-090227-03c-INW-WhatPower-DieselGenSpec.pdf
2995-090227-03d-INW-WhatPower-InverterSpec.pdf
2995-090227-03e-INW-WhatPower-OffTheGridBrochure.pdf
2995-090227-03f-INW-WhatPower-VillaBrochure.pdf
2995-090227-03g-INW-WhatPower-RAPSBrochure.pdf
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All I want to do is replace the string "090227" with "090305"

I've tried 090228>090305 which I thought would work but it doent

What its the correct syntax?

XYPlorer is great, but please give me a duel pane!

Thanks Grant

Wrong syntax. Try 090227/090305.
> will replace each of the characters before > with 090305
while / will replace 090227 with 090305.
