Alignment override again

[Mareas]

Hi,

I've searched the forum quite intensively, but I cannot find a solution for my specific problem.

I want to compare the file name like H-1013_BP1_0001.jpg with H-1013_1.jpg or H-1013.jpg.

Basically I want to override everything after the underscore. Everything else, (time stamp, size, folder,...) is supposed to be ignored.

I've tried (.*)_\w\d.*\.jpg =$1.jpg and a few other variations I adapted from forum posts, but I did not find a working solution so far.

Best regards

M

Hello,

This is very close. The initial .* can be a bit greedy, so I would recommend using ^_ (not _) instead. Here's the RegEx I tried out:
([^_]+).*\.jpg = $1.jpg

For matching on H-1013_1.jpg, you would need to add that to the destination explicitly:
([^_]+).*\.jpg = $1_1.jpg

Thank you! That worked like a charm!
