FROM:
A test 01x01 test.ext
01x02.ext
01x10.ext
02x03.ext
02x10.ext

TO:
A test S01 E01 test.ext
S01 E02.ext
S01 E10.ext
S02 E03.ext
S02 E10.ext

Try this Regular Expression Rule (See > http://www.den4b.com/wiki/ReNamer:Rules:RegEx )

Express: (\d+)x(\d+)
Replace: S$1 E$2
[X] Skip Extensions

Try test files first, and best have an backup

HTH?

Thanks for the reply Stephan
Looking at the preview, the fix you gave me works for most of the files up to and including episode 09.   When you get to episode 10+, it produced these results:

Original
01x10 filename.ext
01x11 filename.ext

Is previewed as:
0s01 e10 filename.ext
0s01 e11 filename.ext

It adds an additional '0' in the front and then causes the 's' to be lowercase.

Could you advise how to also cover the 10+ episode numbering in the same expression please?

works for me with the above used

Do you have a longer filename as you show us here, or do you use other rules before or after?
You can export the rules to clipboard (right click a rule) and post that here.
(If not, do you maybe use an older ReNamer version?)

Or do you try to insert a Zero '0' yourself?

Thanks again Stefan
I just upgraded to the latest version and my other 800+ rules do not impact this.

I extended my list of directories to rename from 1 to 6, and then found that this rule does work for all of the other 5 sub-directories, just not the first one. Maybe there is something funky like a special character in those couple of filenames in the first directory.  I will just manually change those as this seems to rename all the others as required.

Excellent app! - Can't live without it
