File Character Renaming
I have a file name that is 1234567890-Another-Silly-question-page-1.png How do I set up the program to return 1234567890-.png. Sometimes the numbers are 9 digits, sometimes 10, but are always folloved by "-".

Thank you for the input Delta Foxtrot figured it out after a cup of coffee.
Made a multi level replacement
1. Replace hyphen with spacehyphenspace *.pdf
2. Replace spacehyphenspace with nothing.pdf

Mike,
See, you didn't even need my help! :) You could have done that with one replace, though:
R:-*
W: [nothing]
But that's not what you asked for... We can only answer what we're asked. :) It's all good, though, as long as you get where you want to be.

Nice diplomatic response, Mr. Foxtrot. I might've left scorch marks on my keyboard...
At least you didn't sweat all day above a hot JavaScript furnace for this one. ;P

Ha! Keep cool, my friend!
Here in central Texas, absent air conditioning in my house, I tend to sweat over pretty much every post this time of year... :)
I didn't even think this was an egregious post, actually. And I'd say most head-shakers seem to be either language differences or some fundamental lack of critical thinking abilities, which is probably not their fault to begin with. *Or* (as we used to say in the computer consulting biz) "specification creep", where after asking a question the poster realizes they actually want to do something different, or more, than their original question.
Hey, it's all good! :) If we didn't enjoy it we wouldn't be here, right? :)

Bah, we had a few other terms and acronyms for it; which I won't repeat here.
Especially since you're applying a variant of Heinlein's Razor (Not Hanlon's. That's an interwebs lie.)
And I'm here for the cake. ;P
1) Concise question with a "Minimal Reproducible Example".
2) Provide answer(s)
3) Effusive praise :D
4) ** TBD **
5) Riches (and cake)!
