Delete first word in filename

You guys are brilliant! Thank you both so much :smiley:

I just stumbled on another post (by Leo) that has a wealth of presets that I never saw before:

[url]Various simple rename presets]

They are all so useful! I accidentally posted a question in the scripting section, so since it relates to the above, I might as well ask it here:

For the "Swap Artists" preset, I changed it so that it would just swap words between a dash (as long as there is only one dash). So for example, if I have a book named "Lewis Carroll - Alice in Wonderland.pdf" it would change it to "Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll.pdf". So I tried the following:

Regexp (.+) - (.+) to \2 - \1

It works, but the problem is that the extension is also swapped, so that it results in:

"Alice in Wonderland.pdf - Lewis Carroll"

Is there anyway for me to change the code so that I can avoid swapping the extension?[/url]
