Hi ramy,


FROM:
My name is ramy
You are smart and intelligent boy

TO:
My name is
You are smart and intelligent



best use regular expression,
search for everything till last space (just before last word)
and store that for later reuse as group "\1"


USE:

RegEx(1)
Match: (.+)~.+
Replace: \1

(Instead of the ~ sign add a blank space)


HTH?

Hi Stefan How are you ?
Thanks For your Reply
1- I put all of my pictures that I want to remove last word of its name in folder
2- I opened BRU , Put the Regex that you post in the past reply in Match and Put /1 in Replace but When I pressed rename Nothing happened ...

I cant know what do mean ( store that for later reuse as group "\1" )
I dont have any experience about Regular Expression .

Tell me What wrong I do Please

Did you select the files you want to become renamed in the Names column?

Did you think about using a space instead of ~ ?

Did you really use /1 instead of \1 ?

Did you read the help to get a glue what could went wrong?


If you can't figure it out, copy your RegEx Match and the Replace expression and post them both here.

I made everything correctly stefan , Regex works well when I named the files english But My problem is that my Files is in Arabic Language not English

Look at this picture that can make you understand me

Image

The picture name is in arabic language is converted to .jpg
The picture name is in English language is converted correctly

Is BRU support Regex For Unicode Language ????

( I want you tell me this Regex But For Arabic Languge Please )


Thank you

Sorry, I missed your reply.

Nicol is right, this RegEx engine only support standard English letters. No Arabic or German umlauts or such.
