remove part of text when renaming doc Sat May 05, 2018 7:45 am • by Laer
Good morning,

I wonder if it's possible to remove text from a documentname when Hazel renames it…

Most of my docs are named whith a fixed patron buth regulary I have to rename a document before I send it to a client.

For example my doc is named: "2018-124 - Jack Jones - invoice - nov.pdf" and I want to rename it to "Jack Jones - invoice"

Thanks,
Peter.

Look up "match patterns" in the help. You can create custom attributes to match the parts you want to keep and use them in the Rename pattern.
