Search for files with specific naming convention
Posted: 28 Feb 2025 12:42
Hi,
I'm trying to unify how a large collection of images are named, however some over time have had a different last number format applied i.e. end with 2 numbers instead of 3 as demonstrated below, and I was wondering whether it were possible to search for these specific files using a script.
Some examples are:
Files I want to find so I can rename them: set-title-date taken-01.jpg
Files I want to ignore from the search: set-title-date taken-001.jpg
Does this make sense? Is this possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
