Renaming Files Adding Character in the Middle

[mfanous]

Hello,

I am trying to create a rule to rename about 200 files. Most of my files follow the following format...

(YYYY-MM-DD) File Name.ext

I came across 200 files that were mislabeled. Those 200 looked like this

YYYY_MM_DD FileName.ext

On mac, I did a standard "rename/replace text" of all the _ to -
Then I did another standard "add text" on mac of adding a ( to the beginning of the filename

I am trying to figure out a rule to help me add the 2nd ) to close of the file.

Is there a way to do a pattern match? or add a ) after the first 11 characters?

Thanks!

Search the help for "match patterns". You can create a custom attribute to match the first part then in the Rename action, put parentheses around it. You can also use the replace text function to replace the underscores with dashes.
