Multi-rename pattern for inserting white spaces in dates [RESOLVED]

#1 Post by Forez » 30.12.2023, 12:02

I have thousands of files that start with dates written as

Code: Select all

YYYYMMDD
and I need to transform their names into

Code: Select all

YYYY MM DD
The below patterns do not work:

Code: Select all

[n4] [n,5-6] [n,7-8]
[n4] [n,5,6] [n,7,8]
[n4] [n,5][n,6] [n,7][n,8]
Can anyone help me with this?

It looks it's a bug, this should work:

Code: Select all

[n4] [n,5,6] [n,7,8]
FC 900 32-bit, 900 64-bit, Windows 10 22H2 64-bit.

The proper pattern is:

Code: Select all

[n4] [n,5,2] [n,7,2]
[n4] - first X characters
[n,5,2] - Name from x (5), y (2) characters
[n,7,2] - Name from x (7), y (2) characters

Yes, thank you

This seems to be what I need:

Code: Select all

[n4] [n,5,2] [n,7,2] [n,9]
