Delete everything except for "S**E**" in a TV show file name

I have TV show files with various file names.
However, they have one element in common: "S**E**".

This is a sequential pattern where "S" represents "Season" & "E" represents "Episode". The wildcards represent "Season Number" & "Episode Number" (S01E09, S13E22, etc.).

I would like to create a single preset that can delete all the "extra" titles & characters in a file name - leaving only the existing "S**E**" pattern.

Before:
- "Lost S02E11.mkv"
- "Breaking.Bad.BluRay.S01E01.mkv"

After:
- "S02E11.mkv"
- "S01E01.mkv"

Can anyone provide instructions on how to create such a preset?

TO:
S02E11.ext

TRY:

Stefan,

That code worked perfectly, with a variety of files.
I was also able to save it as a preset for convenient use.

Thank you so much! You made my life so much easier!
