Thank you for a truly awesome demo, but whoa! Watching this video felt like riding at 80 mph in a convertible with the top down. I'm excited to see the possibilities and get the drift of what you are doing, but have no clue which expressions to use for what. Could you please post a link to a glossary of terms or some sort of documentation?
Thanks for the awsome tutorial. Could we rename files by removing text starting from a known string? For example, we have many files named "ID=001102&Name=nameoffile.PDF" ID=001103&Name=nameoffile2.PDF" etc... and we want to keep only the ID ? how could we proceed ? thanks again
Just leaving a comment for the cultured Babylon 5 enjoyer Edit I would have liked a lot if they gave this tool the feature to edit individual names in the list directly. The way of hitting of - clicking on the right file - hitting f2 or rightclick -> rename - having to select the right part cause it always highlights the extension too on default which most of the time I do not want to change - enter imagine this tool would allow us to edit all lines like a text editor. It would be heaven.
Pretty sure the Minbari would have had a far more elegant and spiritualisic way of doing it. I didn't really follow what was going on after a bottle of Chilean Merlot although I did realise it wasn't a Delphi video ! it's great to see a fellow Babylon 5 fan out there. Probably the best and most underrated sci fi series out there. I exepct you're aware that some, if not all the early graphics were made using a Commodore Amiga, albeit a souped up one. The actors have had a tough time over the years too, many have left this Earth far earlier than their years dictated.
I still have not figured out how to use powertools power rename after watching this. The interface is very confusing and non-intuitive. I suggest starting with a simple example and then building up the complexity.
most useful video on youtube for PowerRename, thanks a lot!
You're very welcome!

You start with RegEx and capturing groups. That's like hurling the Britannica at someone who wants to learn English, isn't it!
Maybe I should do a series on RegEx basics.
@@codegearguru it would be awesome.
awesome tutorial, thanks!

Found it using regular expressions thanks. It's :
&Name=[\s\S]*

Maybe I need to write something...

Agreed, Babylon 5 is fantastic.
Thanks
Very complicated. What a out bulkrename?
I've never used BulkRename, but will have to try it out. I'm guessing it's this one www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/

Is this a Delphi pro tip? :)
I was thinking about writing something in Delphi to do some bulk renaming, but no need to reinvent the wheel in this case.
@@codegeargurucan i suggest the square?
?... complicated way to make it quicker
