delete random string from filename

[terezava]

Hi.
I have many files named by this pattern:
randomstring - username.jpg
I would like to delete all strings except a username, so final filename should be username.jpg
Length of both, a random string and username are variable.
How can I do it?

Hi and welcome, terezava.

How can I do it?

You have to find a common marker (anchor) on your file names,
like "first space" or "second hyphen" or "last comma",
or "delete first 10 signs" or "keep last 20 signs" or use signs "S"+two digits as anchor.

Thank you Stefan2
The dash is common marker. I would like to leave all behind the dash. But I don't know how to do it. I tried Multi-Rename Tool, but I am not able transform such request into the regular expression.

FROM:
randomst - username 2.jpg
random string - user name.jpg
randomstring - username.jpg
randomstring 3 - user.jpg

TO:
user.jpg
user name.jpg
username.jpg
username 2.jpg

RULE:
remove everything till (single or last occurrence of) SpaceHyphenSpace


MRT:
Search: .+-#
Replace:
[x]RegEx


# is here a marker for an space: ".+- "
