Windows 10: PowerRename - strip out a prefix

Is it possible to use PowerRename to strip out a prefix from a bunch of files? For instance, 1234567-ABC-??????.xxx, and I want to remove 1234567-. It is always 7 digits.

:)

 

BAT file or script to add date of creation (YYYY MM DD) prefix to file name?

You may try PowerRename (part of Microsoft PowerToys).

Pls check out this example:

Bug in spellchecker regarding the prefix "pre"

When I add the prefix "pre" to a word with a hyphen, it flags it as incorrect and suggests "per" instead, which never makes any sense for the word. It suggests other prefixes which also would not create an actual word. For instance, if I type pre-menstrual
syndrome or "pre-Christmas sale" or anything like that, it flags it as incorrect and suggests "per-menstrual syndrome" or "per-Christmas sale" instead (followed by "ore," "pee" 'pr," as potential correct prefixes, which are even more nonsensical.

Like I said, it takes a legitimate use of the prefix "pre" and suggests gibberish. It doesn't allow "pre" as a stand-alone prefix without a hyphen either.

How can I fix this (add "pre" to spellcheck as a legitimate prefix? It's a relatively minor thing as irritations go, but it seems rather odd and could be an issue for people with dyslexia or for whom English isn't a first language.

 

NO SWISS PREFIX

I wanted to connect my phone to my pc so they asked my number but there was not the Swiss prefix in the list, so I can't connect. What could I do? (Why do they put a list and Don't just let me write it down)
