I want to Batch Rename a few thousand files. I have one part of the regular expression figured out just not the first part.
The filename is the employeeID_employeeName-sequence number. I would like to only keep the employeeID_employee name.
For example the file 123456_John Smith-00001.pdf should become 123456_John Smith.pdf
I was able to use Batch Rename, then string substitution then, find [-\d?] but that only changes the filename to _John Smith.pdf
The expression that worked was by Wiktor Stribiżew in the comment above. In the string substitution field I placed -\d+(.\w+)$ and left the replace with field empty.
