ReNamer:Examples of Rules

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:

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

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)
