I frequently need to rename files by swapping the text before and after the hyphen in file names. I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this but I can't work it out.
For example, I want to change the original file name:
Stevie Wonder - I Wish.pdf
to
I Wish - Stevie Wonder.pdf
Thank you in advance for your help!
This code works for me but I am no expert in Regular Expressions (yet 
) so you'll probably get a better solution from someone else.
Rename PATTERN="(.*) - (.*)" TO="\2 - \1" REGEXP IGNOREEXT
I do a similar thing all the time but in my case I rearrange three elements such as:
20190515 - SBS ONE HD - Eurovision Song Contest.ts
to
Eurovision Song Contest - SBS ONE HD - 20190515.ts
Using Regular Expressions
Old Name: (.*) - (.*) - (.*).ts
New Name: \3 - \2 - \1.ts
Thank you, blueroly! Works perfectly.
And bhutch, I'll definitely be able to use this one too.
