Multi Rename Tool - replace or delete after found string

Post by *Randall »

How about a feature that can find a string and replace everything after it. Or before it. Or replace a specified number of characters

That's what regular expressions were made for. And the MRT already supports regular expressions.

Open the MRT and hit F1. This will open the help for the MRT, which tells you which checkbox(es) are relevant to regex matching/searching. It also contains a link referring to further information about the regular expressions syntax used by TC.

If you are completely new to regular expressions, the TC help might perhaps not be sufficient to ease you into using it. If that's the case, take advantage of the many regex tutorials out there in the interwebs. (Random pick: https://www.regular-expressions.info/tutorial.html). Just keep in mind that there are different flavors/dialects of regex languages/sytanx. As far as basic functions are concerned, most regex flavours are more or less the same, but it might be that the particular regex flavour/syntax covered by some tutorial might differ in some aspects and/or feature set from the regex syntax used in TC.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.
