Issue of UserInput rule while load from a Text file
Hi, Denis
I have encountered a bit of problem while adding UserInput rule to rename files neme, see below for more details:
1. generally, new files name will be batch generated via Microsoft Excel through combining Excel columns;
2. save as this Excel file into text file in "Text file(tab delimited) (*.txt)" format;
3. load the outputed text file while add UserInput rule to rename files name;
4. finally, unfortunately it is failure if use this rule.
so i am wondering whether the outputed text file contains space or tab delimited so that Renamer can't recognize them and failed to re-name the file name?
thanks a lot!

Re: Issue of UserInput rule while load from a Text file
Tab delimited txt or csv file is valid for importing filenames/newnames only, so for options from menu Export (just above file table).
In UserInput rule you have to have new names for files delimited by EndOfLine sign, cause any other sign (even tab) will be puted into the filename and may produce invalid filenames (from system point of view).
Cheers,
Konrad
Regular Expressions are not as hard to understand as you may think. Check ReNamer's manual or nice Regular Expressions tutorial for more info and start to use full power of applications that use them (like ReNamer, Mp3Tag and so on).

Re: Issue of UserInput rule while load from a Text file
This is the intended behaviour. UserInput rule loads new names from file in "name-per-line" manner, as you already figured it out.
You can just copy and paste the column from the Excel spreadsheet into the UserInput rule.
