ReNamer:Analyze

The Analyze tool allows to apply rules to the text loaded into its window. This is very useful to see the effect of the rules using dummy text (for example before using the Insert rule).

The text may be a filename (or multiple filenames) loaded from Files pane or any text manually created by user. It also allows to check the positions of any character in the text just by pointing to it with keyboard or mouse. The appropriate data is displayed in the status bar of the window.

Let us see an example.

I had already added a single Insert Rule in the Rules pane of ReNamer. It was set to insert "x" (without the quotes) at the 3^rd position.

When the option is selected, a window like this pops up:

In this window, I have added some arbitrary text to show the effect of the rule. Notice how x is added at the 3^rd character in each line. I can move the cursor to any position. In this example, it is at the 3rd position (see the status line at the bottom of the screenshot).

Now I am reassured that the rule does insert an x at position-3. (My renaming will happen as planned.) Now I can close this window and go ahead and rename my files.

The options in the window are as follows:

Line wrap	Wraps a line if it exceeds the window's width. (note that the window's width can be adjusted by dragging its right border.)
Automatically apply rules	You do not have to press the button.
Apply rules for each line	Applies the rule to each line separately.
