Regex "filter" for tokens

[leokreissig]

Hey,

I've read that regex in renaming was topic some years ago.
I'd love to be able to use it.

I guess something like http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/template would be great - Jeffrey's tokens are usable accross most of his LR plugins and support filters for all tokens. This would be great with PM-Tokens as well.

Leo,

I'm really not sure what you're asking for?  PM already has variables that you can use to rename your photos.

That what my thread's title states: "filters" or whatever one would like me. Substrings are one part of them, but they don't help when the string's length differs.

The Find and Replace panel now offers regular expression find and replace and can be applied to filenames.  It's not a generic regex in variables, but perhaps it will be effective for your file renaming needs?

And how can I capture from find&replace? I need to separate a part of the filename to use it in the new one.
