I need to rename files whose filename includes dates in the format dd.mm.yy to the more sensible yy.mm.dd. I see how to tokenize content from files "content contain match" but I don't see a "contain match" option for handling "name." Is this possible? (Dates are NOT located inside files; files are videos.)

Try "matches". Note that it operates a bit differently (hence the name being different) in that the pattern must describe all characters in the name. Contrast this with "contains match" where the pattern has to match some subset of characters.

Unfortunately, that wouldn't solve my problem. I have several hundred files each with a different file name (of course!) and switching yy and dd for all of them would need to "contains match" feature. Any chance of that being included in a new release?

It should work. Can you post what you have so far?

Fantastic! It Worked! Previously I hadn't seen the custom text option under "matches". That's all I needed!
