Topic: I want to insert a "-" two letters before the end of the filename

I want to insert a "-" two letters before the end of the filename.


EXAMPLE:         Test NAME Siren.txt
EXPRESSION:    %b(1,-2) - %b(-2,).*
RESULT:           Test NAME Sir - en.txt




EXPLANATIONS:

%b(1,-2)   the base file name, but only the char from the begin to the second last char    [Test NAME Sir]

-              an space, an dash and an another space                                                    [Test NAME Sir - ]

%b(-2,)    the base file name, but start at the second char from the right, till the end       [Test NAME Sir - en]
.         the dot between file name and extension                                                          [Test NAME Sir - en.]
*        the extension (in this case because it's on the right side of the dot)                      [Test NAME Sir - en.txt]





The expression
%b(1,-2) - %b(-2,).*

could also be
%b(1,-2) - %b(-2).*
or
%b(1,-2) - %b(-2,).%e
or
%b(1,-2) - %f(-7)
