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 Miguel |

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\(\d{4}.*UTC\) Miguel |
