    How to rename a file keeping the last 7 characters intact

    How to rename a file keeping the last 7 characters intact

    Q: I need assistance to set up a move rule and rename the file to the destination. The file name needs to keep the last 7 characters intact before the file extension name. For example if the original file name is “Aspect Windows Pty Ltd_398x272_1531309.pdf” – we need it renamed to “1531309.pdf” before it is moved to the destination directory. Any idea how I can set this up please?

    A: This is possible using our Destination file renaming option

    Please enable and setup  ‘Rename Files during Copy/Move’ in your Destination setup:
    RegEx:  (.*)(.{7})\.(.*)
    Replacement:   \2.\3

    rename a file keeping

    Information about how to use regular expressions can be found here.
