Strip date from filename filter and move files older than the x days
Strip date from filename filter and move files older than the x days
Q: I want to make a file filter-> regex filter able to move files older than the current date -n to another folder.
The files i question are named like this: hjernetrim-quiz-helside_2025-01-28.pdf (hjernetrim-quiz-helside_yyyy-mm-dd.pdf)
I can’t figure out how to use the regex Filter. I have no luck with this: hjernetrim-quiz-helside_TCD:[IncDay-5]yyyy-mm-dd:
Can you help me finding the correct filter syntax?
A: In this case we are going to strip the date part from the filename and convert it to a Date. Afterwards we’ll compare this with the current date and when older than 5 days we’ll allow the file to be moved. We are not going to use a file filter for this but instead use a little script.
First setup your Source, we used a Windows folder as Source:
Open our Pascal Script option:
Enable and add the following ‘On Destination’ script: link
You can adjust the ctOlderThanDays Const if needed. At the moment it is set to 5
As Destination we used a Windows Folder:

Rename a file when it is sent to the destination
Q: We are trying to rename a file when it is sent to the destination. I am struggling to make this work. I have renamed files in the past when they have an extension already however these files do not have an extension. For example we want to move file test (no ext) to a new folder and add .dat to the end so the file in the new folder is called test.dat
A: The Destination has a File Rename option which uses Regular Expressions
Please have a look at the following screenshot:
RegEx: (.*)
Replacement: \1.dat

Converting images to pdf with limagito file mover
Converting images to pdf with limagito file mover
In Limagito File Mover v2025.2.16.0 we added the Imageen PDF plug-in. This makes it possible to use our Image as destination and convert images to pdf. The setup is very simple.
We used a Windows folder as Source:
We used the following Filename Inlcude Filter, only interested in jpg and tiff files:
As Destination we used IMAGE:
IMAGE as Destination Setup:
First Action is ‘Geomatric Manipulation’ because we want tor rotate the image first
Second Action is ‘Output to File’
Geometric Manipulation:
Output to File:
The converting to pdf is done using our File Rename option. The engine will know what to do if it finds a different file extension as destination.
RegEx: (.*)\.(.*)
Replacement: \1.pdf
FYI: You can adjust the Replacement setup to convert to other image formats too, like png: \1.png
RunTime Log Result:
If you need any help with this “images to pdf” option, please let us know.
