OK, I feel stupid as I must be overlooking something simple.
I have a folder with files having names in the format:
Apple Card Statement - May 2020.pdf
Apple Card Transactions - May 2020.csv
...<more files and months>
.
I want to rename them into format: mm-yyy Apple Card Statement.pdf
-or-
mm-yyyy Apple Card Transactions.csv

For some reason (brain fart?) I can't seem to parse the filename into the "<name> <month> <year> <filetype>" tolkens I need to create the new filename. Don't seem to be able to break the original file name apart.

Help? Hazel V5.0.3

Have you tried using the preview function? Can you post the exact pattern you are using?

Yes, the preview function says "Not Matched" for the entire filename character string, looks like it's not breaking it up according to the pattern:

For example, the filename is "Apple Card Statement - April 2020" and the pattern is:

Apple Card Statement - ºSMonthˇ ºSYearˇ.pdf

where SMonth & SYear are patterns to capture the month & year values.

This would be much easier to show if I could attach screenshots showing the pattern elements but I can't figure out how to do that in this forum software! ?
