Topic: How to remove first three signs
Q: How to remove first three signs from file names like this:
BorHtml.vbs
HutHtml.vbs
NewHtml.vbs
OldHtml.vbs
TO:
Html.vbs
Html.vbs
Html.vbs
Html.vbs
A: That is easy with Siren, just use this expression: %f(4)
To prevent duplicate file names, better add an counter: %b(4)_%n.%e
Html_001.vbs
Html_002.vbs
Html_003.vbs
Html_004.vbs
EXPLANATION:
The whole file name: %f
Start at '4th' sign, dropping the first three: %f(4)
The base file name: %b
Start at '4th' sign, dropping the first three: %b(4)
The selection number: %n
An dot and the origin ext: .%e
For more read the help about "String modifier : "( )" >>> Extraction"
String extraction: The usage is very near of the standard "substr" : ( starting position, [number of characters] )
