I have hundreds of files that were name in this format:
Meeting Minutes (December 14, 2020).pdf Meeting Minutes (August 24, 2020).pdf Meeting Minutes (November 9, 2020).pdf I would like to rename them: Meeting Minutes 2020-12-14.pdf Meeting Minutes 2020-08-24.pdf Meeting Minutes 2020-11-09.pdf I can figure out how to replace "December" with "12" and so on. And then use the move characters around so that it appears in YYYY-MM-DD format. But there must be a clever way to do that with a script. Is there a way? |

Reorder with a Replace method, using a regular expression...
Replace: (.* )\(([^ ]*) (\d+), (\d+)\) with: \1\4-\2-\3 Use regular expressions Then add a List replace method to convert months to numeric, with one line for each month... Replace: January with: 1 Replace: February with: 2 etc etc Replace: December with: 12 |
