Regex remove part of a file name
OS: Windows 10
Tool: PowerRename
I need to remove the # symbol and the number in a file name IE:
ABC 2020 Sec. Fund - 2021 - # 1 Doe, John.pdf
to
Doe, John - ABC 2020 Sec. Fund - 2021.pdf
Using this expression:|
/(^[^#]*)-(.*$)
And this substitution:
$2 $1
I get the following:
ABC 2020 Sec. Fund - 2021 - # 1 Doe, John.pdf
Becomes
# 1 Doe, John ABC 2020 Sec. Fund - 2021.pdf
There are multiple of these files that have to be renamed.
I need to make sure everything before the last name is removed. Everytime I add to this expression it breaks. I am not sure what I am missing.
