Rename from Text numbers to Numbers Text

I know this is a simple rename but I am a new user and I did not find a similar question or answer to it. I will explain the details more.
Original file names are some characters then a number the characters might have space in them the numbers are not the same number of digits.
Examples of original file names:
Dragonfly Express 52
Edgar the fearless 40
Judge Beeswax 7
xxxx xxx -xxx02

To be renamed to:
052-Dragonfly Express
040-Edgar the fearless
007-Judge Beeswax
xxxx xxx -xxx02

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome Dr_Eng_X .

Do you know something about punctuation? It would be nice if you would
be that kind to use some of them in your communication with us, thank you.
In particular some dots here and there would help to make your help request much more readable.

FROM:
Dragonfly Express 52
Edgar the fearless 40
Judge Beeswax 7
xxxx xxx -xxx02
TO:
052-Dragonfly Express
040-Edgar the fearless
007-Judge Beeswax
xxxx xxx -xxx02

I would use as first step a RegEx rule to rearrange the number:
https://www.den4b.com/wiki/ReNamer:Rules:RegEx
Expression: ^(.+?)\s(\d+)$
Replace: $2-$1

and as second rule the "Padding" rule: add zero padding to length 3

HTH?
