Auto Rename Rules
Introduction
The auto rename feature allows renaming of files and folders according to user defined rules.
Type
WildChar
The input is being matched against the search value. If there is a match the replace value acts as a template to generate the output value.
The following wild-char or meta characters are defined and can be used in the search and replace value:
- * matches any character string (sequence of characters)
- ? matches any single character
Examples
| Search | Replace | Input | Output |
| *.htm | *.html | index.htm | a.html |
| X*Y*Z | AA*BB*CC | X1stY2ndZ | AAFirstBBSecondCC |
| file?.txt | ?file.txt | file1.txt | 1file.txt |
| *exp?sin | tra?la* | 94expXsin | tralXla94 |
WildChar (No Case)
Same as WildChar with the difference that the case is ignored when matching the search value with the input.
Scope
The scope value defines the range in which the rule applies.
| File | Applies to files only |
| Folder | Applies to folders only |
| Any | File or Folder |
