Multi renaming
Hi
I read the help file about multi-renaming in TC 5.51 with great interest.
I can see that placeholders gives many possibilitees, but one thing that I miss or didn't found, is to delete a "column" like: Delete characters starting from column 16 to 37
Before:
D:\Deep Dish - Yosh-ABC123-iesque - CD 1 - 01
D:\Deep Dish - Yosh-DEF456-iesque - CD 1 - 02
D:\Deep Dish - Yosh-GHI789-iesque - CD 1 - 03
D:\Deep Dish - Yosh-JKL012-iesque - CD 1 - 04
So the string in the first line example is removed:
"Yosh-ABC123-iesque - "
Result:
D:\Deep Dish - CD 1 - 01
D:\Deep Dish - CD 1 - 02
D:\Deep Dish - CD 1 - 03
D:\Deep Dish - CD 1 - 04
Is that possible? If not, then this is my whish for next point release (5.52)

Doesn’t the <clear> part of the “replace with” part of the multirename tool do the job for you? I face sometimes the same problem and what I do in order to tackle this problem is to type in the search field the part I want to be deleted and then use the (usually by default) <clear> function of the Replace With bit. Alternatively, you can insert spaces there (Replace With) to do the very same job!
Of course this is only feasible if the search string is common for all files. In your case that doesn’t apply. I haven’t tried though if the placeholders can be used within the search bit. That could be a workaround by specifying the range of characters.
