RF help with mass rename of M$ update files

[DRP535]

You know how when you download standalone update patch files from Microsoft, they come appended with a massive long random string before the .exe at the end? What would be the command in the multi-rename tool to be be able to delete all these appended random string characters from the end of the file in a batch process?

In my case, the vast majority of the files end with -enu_<massive long meaningless string of junk here>.exe

This string is NOT random at all! It's always the SHA-1 checksum of this particular file.

If you really want to remove them (I wouldn't do it), you can use something like this:
Search for:

Code: Select all

_[a-f0-9]{40}\.

Replace with:

Code: Select all

.

(a single dot)
[X] RegEx
