  1. With PowerRename, how do I remove unique strings in the middle of the filename?


    I have several episodic filenames, and I want to remove the middle segments. For example, I would like to turn Caillou_S02E02_Summertime into Caillou - Summertime. How do I do this with PowerRename? Each middle segment of each file is slightly different e.g., S02E02, S02E03, S02E04, etc.Thank you!

    Remove a string from all filenames in a folder

    I have a folder containing several files. In some of the filenames occurs the following string "(Temp-lib)". How can I rename all files to remove that string from the filenames? Eg. BestPractice(Temp-lib).pdf must become BestPractice.pdf

    With PowerRename, how do I remove unique strings in the middle of the filename?

    Search string

    Use ~ [tilde] to denote an exact search

    • enclose the search term in "
    • include * if there is anything before the string / after it otherwise the search will think you are looking for a string at the start / end
    • include filename: if that is relevant [it speeds things up by avoiding contents searching].

    For example, these both found the correct result

    ~"*o p*"

    filename:~"*o p*"
