This article is a collection of examples of rules for various common tasks. Another set of examples specifically with a use of Rearrange rule is a available in a separate article: Rearrange Examples.
Remove first word separated by spaces
If the words are separated by spaced then you can use Delete rule, by deleting everything up to the next space.
1) Delete: Delete from Position 1 until Delimiter " " (skip extension)
Alternatively, this can be achieved with a RegEx rule:
1) RegEx: Replace expression "\A[^\s]+\s*" with "" (skip extension)
Examples:
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| Example File Name | File Name |
Remove first 3 words separated by spaces
If the words are separated by spaced then you can use 3 Delete rules, with each one deleting everything up to the next space.
1) Delete: Delete from Position 1 until Delimiter " " (skip extension) 2) Delete: Delete from Position 1 until Delimiter " " (skip extension) 3) Delete: Delete from Position 1 until Delimiter " " (skip extension)
Alternatively, this can be achieved with a single RegEx rule:
1) RegEx: Replace expression "\A[^\s]+\s+[^\s]+\s+[^\s]+\s*" with "" (skip extension)
Examples:
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog | fox jumps over the lazy dog |
Remove last 3 words separated by spaces
If the words are separated by spaced then you can use 3 Delete rules, with each one deleting everything up to the next space, but operating in "right-to-left" mode.
1) Delete: Delete from Position 1 until Delimiter " " (right-to-left) (skip extension) 2) Delete: Delete from Position 1 until Delimiter " " (right-to-left) (skip extension) 3) Delete: Delete from Position 1 until Delimiter " " (right-to-left) (skip extension)
Alternatively, this can be achieved with a single RegEx rule:
1) RegEx: Replace expression "\s*[^\s]+\s+[^\s]+\s+[^\s]+\Z" with "" (skip extension)
Examples:
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog | The quick brown fox jumps over |
Swap names around as "Last, First" to "First Last"
1) Rearrange: Split by exact pattern of delimiters ", ", New pattern "$2 $1" (skip extension)
Examples:
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| Last, First | First Last |
| Smith, John | John Smith |
| Mc Donald, John | John Mc Donald |
