Updating File Name From Higher Level Path Info

I have many file paths of the type below:
AAA\BBB\AAA_BBB\001.jpg
AAA\BBB\AAA_BBB\002.jpg
=================
AAA\BBB\AAA_BBB\106.jpg

I would like to rename the files in the lowest level folder to this:
AAA\BBB\AAA_BBB\AAA_BBB-001.jpg
AAA\BBB\AAA_BBB\AAA_BBB-002.jpg
=================
AAA\BBB\AAA_BBB\AAA_BBB-106.jpg

I can't seem to find the "magical incantation" to make this work.  Closest things I could find was using Rearrange create descendant folders but that's not particularly helpful.

UPDATE:
Using the "Insert Meta Tag" button on the Insert Rule and selecting "File_FolderName" inserts the name of the next highest level folder into the target.

Hi and welcome.

Looks like you have solved that on your own, right?

Re: Updating File Name From Higher Level Path Info

I'm looking for something similar, but rather than insert the name of the lowest level folder, I want to insert the name of the folder one level up:

AAA\BBB\CCC\001.jpg
AAA\DDD\EEE\002.jpg
AAA\FFF\GGG\003.jpg

I would like to rename the files in the lowest level folder to this:
AAA\BBB\CCC\BBB-001.jpg
AAA\DDD\EEE\DDD-002.jpg
AAA\FFF\GGG\FFF-003.jpg

See the answer provided in a separate thread: How to add name of folder 2 levels up as prefix?
