Hi Mr Noodle,
I have lot of file start with [01 19] - or [01 20] - or [01 32] - (differents numbers after 01)
Is that possible to use ''rename'' function to completely remove all data including [ and this ]
Ex: [01 32] - Hazelisgreat and rename with : Hazelisgreat
Thanks for your help

Search the help for "match patterns". You can create a pattern with a custom attribute which matches the part of the name you want to keep. Then in the Rename action, you can use that custom attribute.

Hi Mr. Noodle,
I saw ''Match Patterns'' and that help me good. Now, with my example, i want to remove 10 caracters of my files. I have :
[01 32] - Hazelisgreat
and i want
Hazelisgreat
So, i need to remove ''[01 32] - '' and in :
Do the following to the matched file or folder (menu), im on:
RENAME - with pattern: NAME EXTENSION
If i click on NAME, i can do
NO CHANGE
TITLE CASE
LOWERCASE
UPPERCASE
REPLACE TEXT
SET DEFAUT
If i choose REPLACE TEXT, i cant use pattern in REPLACE (like) : ''Sympols, digit, digit, etc...''
How i can remove the text in the name ? Thanks for your help

You need to create a rule 'Name matches' with the tokens Anything & Custom Text. You would then rename the file using the Custom Text token as the new name
Presuming the name contains the word Hazelisgreat that would be the custom word. I have created a sample rule for you to view to get the idea
