I'm sure it's easy, but I can't get my head around what I need to set up. I get a daily video file titled: Name_20260119_20302100. The 'Name' is always the same. The last 8 digits are always the same and I'd like to get rid of them, but not essential. The 1st set of digits is the date backwards and I want to change them to have a dash between year-month-day. Just so some other software I have recognises it as a date. As I said I'm sure it's easy, but if someone can assist, that would be great! THANK YOU

Look up match patterns in the help. You can set up custom attributes to match the parts of the name and rearrange them as you see fit. If you run into any specific problems, post back here.

Yes I have looked at that thanks and I’ve spent some hours trying variations and can’t work it out…

I need to see how your rules look now.
