Rearrange-Rename HASH named files.

Greetings everyone,

I am new here, but not new using ReNamer, well, basic functions , but id like to try something more complex and I cant seem to find the right answer, I looked in the forum and I can't seem to find the right information to my example.

I have thousands of files named in 32 digit HASH, like this.

FECAAFC2309C055D7E7D61C4C669F9C0.dat

Needs to look like this:

C2AFCAFE9C305D057E7D61C4C669F9C0.dat

But they need to be renamed as follows:

 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8 9101112131415
FE CA AF C2 30 9C 05 5D 7E7D61C4C669F9C0
C2 CA AF FE 30 9C 05 5D 7E7D61C4C669F9C0 #0 with 3
C2 AF CA FE 30 9C 05 5D 7E7D61C4C669F9C0 #1 with 2
C2 AF CA FE 9C 30 05 5D 7E7D61C4C669F9C0 #4 with 5
C2 AF CA FE 9C 30 5D 05 7E7D61C4C669F9C0 #7 with 6

Ergo:
 3  2  1  0  5  4  7  6  8 9101112131415
C2 AF CA FE 9C 30 5D 05 7E7D61C4C669F9C0

There for I have to rearrange the first 8(16) groups by two, and the rest 8(16) of them untouched.
Is there any way this can be achieved in a more automatic way please?

You can achieve this with either of these rules:

1) Rearrange
2) Regular Expressions
3) Pascal Script

Here is the configuration for a Rearrange rule:

Split by positions: 3|5|7|9|11|13|15|17
New pattern: $4$3$2$1$6$5$8$7$9
Skip extension: YES

Here is the configuration for a Regular Expressions rule:

Expression: \A(..)(..)(..)(..)(..)(..)(..)(..)(.*)\Z
Replace: $4$3$2$1$6$5$8$7$9
Skip extension: YES

Using either of these rules, if you have a filename:

FECAAFC2309C055D7E7D61C4C669F9C0.dat

The resulting new name will be:

C2AFCAFE9C305D057E7D61C4C669F9C0.dat

Thank you very much for your response.

It works marvelously well, and everything works as should now.

In October will be 10 years since I've discovered/using this marvelous utility, ReNamer, thank you very much for still working on it to improve it and make it great.

Cheers.
