Renaming large number of files

[Frank]

I accidently rename a number of files on ingest with the same name separated by an underscore. I now have files named _DSC5273100_DSC5273,_DSC5273101_DSC5273......

How do I get rid of the first part of the file name so that I have only DSC5273, DSC5274......

I am also trying to rename a number of files with underscore then filename for example _DSC12345 to become DSC12345

Thanks for any help.

See: https://docs.camerabits.com/support/solutions/articles/48001077381-variable-substring-extraction

For your specific first example, you would use:

{filenamebase:-7}

For your second example, you would use:

{filenamebase:-8}

you could also use Find & Replace. You don't have to replace the underscore with anything.
