Auto Rename Rules
The auto rename feature allows renaming of files and folders according to user defined rules.
If the input equals the Search value, then the Output is the Replace value.
Examples
| Search | Replace | Input | Output |
| test | new | test | new |
The input is being matched against the search value. If there is a match the replace value acts as a template to generate the output value.
The following wild-char or meta characters are defined and can be used in the search and replace value:
Examples
| Search | Replace | Input | Output |
| *.htm | *.html | index.htm | a.html |
| X*Y*Z | AA*BB*CC | X1stY2ndZ | AAFirstBBSecondCC |
| file?.txt | ?file.txt | file1.txt | 1file.txt |
| *exp?sin | tra?la* | 94expXsin | tralXla94 |
Use regular expressions. Use $1, $2, etc in the replacement string for the sub-matches.
Examples
| Search | Replace | Input | Output |
| test([0-9]+).html | test-$1.html | test345.html | test-345.html |
The scope value defines the range in which the rule applies.
| File | Applies to files only |
| Folder | Applies to folders only |
| Any | File or Folder |
No Case. case insensitive.
