The part of the name starting with "_" and the rest, that means the last 13 characters (which is an irrelevant timestamp), I often have to remove. As I see the Range option doesn't have any solution for that.
I often need to do this kind of rename, so I hope for a solution
If there're some files like this:
a_a.dat
b_bb.dat
c_ccc.dat
....
It means the length of strings after '_' are not the same.
Then how can I remove strings starting with '_' to the end?
Copying the expressions from my post be careful to NOT copy spaces at the end of the expressions.
It should be eg. "(.*?)_(.*?)\.(.*)" and not "(.*?)_(.*?)\.(.*) "
Thank you, djk! It works.
May I ask another qeustion?
Sometimes I want the result of renaming be in this way (according to the example above):
a_a.txt
bb_b.txt
ccc_c.txt
The last part puts to the begining. Can this be done?
From where did you get that idea? Or is this documented anywhere?
My idea is based on a help file example ([N-8-5]). I have adapted it for the concrete task keeping in mind that filename lengths have currently a maximum of 256 characters.

Here is another solution without using RegEx:
Insert for filename [N-256-14]
