Help with Regular Expression

Help & Support
1

Hello,

I needed a little bit of help using regular expression and the rename command. Hopefully someone can lead me in the right direction. I have a set of file names, actually hundreds, that are named in a specific order. The file names are all listed like this:

Incident NOC ltr (Last Name).doc

All the files have the same file name EXCEPT for the last name changes for each file. What I wanted is to change the order to the following:

NOC (Last Name) Incident ltr.doc

Hopefully someone can help me with this.

thanks

That's simple enough that it's easier done using basic wildcards rather than regular expressions:

Old name: Incident NOC ltr (*).doc
New name: NOC (*) Incident ltr.doc
Type: Standard Rename
