You haven't replaced 1572985 with 234665.
The rename should be done as follows:
search for: 1572985|(06.04.14)
replace with: 234665|(06.05.08)

yes ,that do the job.

1st,choose multifile,
2nd,ctrl+m
3rd,use [N#.#]Range,and enter.
4th,write 06.04.14 in search for diologue box,
5th,write 06.05.08 in replace with diologue box,
click start to make the rename action take effect.
and then use the rename tool a second time.
and this time should replace 1572985 with 234665.

wo
XPEHOPE3KA give a convenient way to rename it .and now i could rename it in one time.

The same symbol in the file name is also "A cott" but that is not replaced. So how can the new function know what we want to rename and what we don't want?

in my opinion,the function could found the same section in these multifile and show a find and replace diologue box with the same section numbles,with show the section,and we could edit it.

ie,choose 1572985 and A cott (06.04.14)
in auto .
and we change A cott (06.04.14)to 04.14
and then input something to the replace strict

Yes I did not notice that there is a difference between those parts.

Then just use plain search and replace.
