Hi
I tried using the Multi-rename tool to find the date in the file name and enclose it in brackets. In the "find" field I entered "????" and in the replace field "(????)" because I read somewhere that "?" corresponds to any digit but corresponds to any character and it still does not work correctly. For example, when the file name is "file_name_2034.something" then "20??" -> "(20??)" will return "file_name_(204 ).something" insted of "file_name_(2034).something". I also tried a regular expression in the form "\d{4}" -> "($1)" but it also does not work.
Could any of you help me sort this.

Re: Multi-rename tool - catch dates between ()
I found a problem with the regular expression, the query "\d{4}" should look like "(\d{4})" to route $1 to the data
