Multi-Rename Tool Regular Expression - Multiple Search & Replace

[Wojtek]

Hi!

I'm currently renaming tons of folders via MRT with RegEx, but I'm stuck at renaming multiple alternations.

For example I have following folders:
April 23
August 23
December 23
and so on (you see, where this is going)

which I wanted to rename all at once to:
2023-04
2023-08
2023-12
...

using following RegEx patterns:
Search: (TEXT1) | (TEXT2) | (TEXT3) ...
Replace: (?1NEW_TEXT1) (?2NEW_TEXT2) (?3NEW_TEXT3) ...

I found this rule somewhere years ago and wrote it down on my RegEx cheat sheet, but unfortunately it doesn't work.
Neither in Notepad++ (where it was written for) nor in Total Commander.

So I wonder if there is any pattern or rule which could do what I am looking for.

Any help appreciated

Without RegEx.

Rename mask: file name

Code: Select all

20[N-2-]-[N1--4]

Search for:

Code: Select all

April|August|December

Replace with:

Code: Select all

04|08|12

Wow. Nice.
I would never have guessed that something like this is possible without RegExp.

Thanks!
