ReNamer:Examples of Rules

This article is a collection of examples of rules for various common tasks.

Remove first word

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

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:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog	fox jumps over the lazy dog
