ReNamer:Rules:Replace

Replace Rule

This rule removes the specified string from the name and replaces it with another string. It has options to replace the first occurrence only, the last occurrence only, or all the occurrences. You can replace multiple strings at a time. The rule will replace each of them with the same replacement string. You can create a pattern with wild cards, so that any string that matches the pattern will be removed.

The parameters are as follows:

Parameter	Details
Find	Enter the string to be replaced. You can enter multiple strings at a time. Press the + button to separate two strings If the name does not contain the specified string, the rule will not act on it. If the name contains more than one of these strings, it will replace all of them.
[[Image:]] button	Press to insert a *|* separator between strings.
Replace	Enter the string that will replace the "Find" string. Note that although the rule can find different strings, it can use only one string as replacement. If you do not want that, you will have to add the Replace rule multiple times, with specific pairs of find and replace strings.
Insert meta tag	Click the button to see a list of meta-tags.
Occurrences	In case the strings occurs multiple times in the name, specify which occurrences should be replaced. (Options are- First only, last only, or all)
Skip extension	If this check box is unselected, the extension will be included in the rule.
Case sensitive	Will only remove a specified string from the name if the case matches exactly.
Interpret symbols as wild cards	The following wild cards are allowed (compare with RegEx). Represents Example * any number of characters (including numbers, space, underscores, etc.). abc* equals abc followed by 0 or more characters. ? Any single character (including numbers, space, underscores, etc.) ab?d equals abcd, ab1d, ab d, ab_d, etc. [] Brackets enclose a set of characters, any one of which may match a single character at that position. foo[ab]ar equals fooaar and foobar - (only within a pair of brackets) denotes a range of characters. foo[a-z]ar equals fooaar, foobar, foocar, foodar, etc.
