Any way to rename a file name to only delete the text within parentheses containing a specific value? For example, only delete the text string containing UTC within parentheses of the filename. Filename (2) (2024_UTC).pdf to be renamed to Filename (2).pdf

Hi Hiwire03.

Use the Replace method.

REPLACE: \s\(\d{1,4}_UTC\)
REPLACE WITH: (Let it in empy)

Use regular expression checked
Apply to name

Thanks a ton, work perfectly.

Have a variety of text strings in file name I would like to replace but its hard to understand this syntax.

Could you kindly help me with the expression that would replace (2018_04_02 00_55_51 UTC) instead of (2024_UTC) in the above file name? I tried changing the numbers in \s\(\d{1,4}_UTC\) but it didn't work.

Thanks in advance

Hi
This method will work with both examples. Use this instead of the previous one.

Replace: \s\(\d{4}.*UTC\)
