Find part of name and put in ()-parentheses

Help with Renaming a Folder and Contents

Hi All,

I'm quite new to this and needed to rename a lot of media files/sub folders in the following way:-

Current format:

Media Name - 2021.1080p

Need to rename too:

Media Name (2021).1080p

Could someone please show me how to do this as i have over 10,000 files/sub folders to rename like this and ReNamer Pro
would be the perfect tool too apply this.

Thanks in Advance

Hello,

Try this RegEx rule:

1) Regular Expressions: Replace expression "(\d{4})(\..+)" with "($1)$2" ----> Uncheck Skip extension

From:

Media Name - 2021.1080p
Media Name - 2021.1080p.mp4

To:

Media Name - (2021).1080p
Media Name - (2021).1080p.mp4

If you like the ReNamer consider upgrading to Pro

Hi and welcome.

needed to rename a lot of media files/sub folders ...

if you want to rename sub folders be sure to sort the list upside down first before starting to rename.
(else the sub folder is not found any longer as the parent folder may be renamed already)

My way FROM
Media Name - 2021.1080p.ext
TO
Media Name (2021).1080p.ext
TRY
Regular Expressions ( https://www.den4b.com/wiki/ReNamer:Rules:RegEx )
Expression: (.+) - (\d\d\d\d)\.(\d\d\d\d)p
Replace with: $1 ($2).$3
[_]Skip extension unchecked

Explanation for "(.+) - (\d\d\d\d)\.(\d\d\d\d)p":
(.+) - >>>>> match all till LAST hyphen
(\d\d\d\d) >> match four digits followed by literal dot followed by four digits and literal "p" >> \.(\d\d\d\d)p

More explanation can be found at https://www.den4b.com/wiki/ReNamer:Regular_Expressions
