going bananas trying to rename file with multiple extensions

[dorindon]

Hello, how can I rename the following file (a standard google calendar backup file):
jimlorin@gmail.com.ical.zip
to
jimlorin@gmail.com [date created placeholder].ical.zip
thanks in advance for your time and help

You will probably need to use match patterns and create a custom attribute to match everything up to the .ical part.

Hello., the following does not work

jimlorin@gmail % abc % abc % abc

Rename with pattern:

name [date created].zip

thank you

I don't see a custom attribute being used. (name) is the whole name before the extension so not suitable for what you want.
