multirename tool parameter [N#-#] for range

[Nigurrath]

Hi,
it woul dbe good to have the possibility to have this command but counting characters backward. For example I have this situation

- many files with different lenght all ending with a fixed length suffix (but different for each file) that I want to remove or substitute. With the suggested parameter it would be simpler. As far as I see it is not possible at the moment, except using regex.

for example:

file_name1_v23.doc
file_namelong2_v2.doc
file_name_long_v1.doc
file_thisisadocument_v4.doc

This is already possible. See TC help:

[N2--5] Characters from the 2nd to the 5th-last character
[N-5-] Characters from the 5th-last character to the end of the name

Regards
Dalai

This is one thing which was improved in TC9: Clicking on [N#-#] shows a new dialog box with these extra options:
[ ] Measure first character from the end
[ ] Measure last character from the end
[ ] Use [first,length] instead of [first-last]
