Remove leading space in filename

I have a file that starts with a space and then a random date each month. It has other spaces later in the filename.

I want to just remove the leading space. There is not pattern to match, just want to remove the leading space.

Seems easy but stumped, thanks for the help.

Look up match patterns in the manual. Using those, you can set up a pattern to match a space followed by a custom text attribute set up to match anything. In a Rename pattern, you can then use that custom text attribute, which contains the name of the file minus the leading space.

How do I replace text with just the first space and not the other spaces.
