Hi,How can i "trim" a filename before "-" and put behind "01"?Example;3621-271.20.10_3.jpgShould transform to;362101.jpgThe
are mutiple files, the amount of numbers for the "-" can be 1,2,3 or 4.
Different filenames that have to be changed in a specific directory.

You have to use {ExtractFileNameNoExt()} variable in order to extract file neme without extension.
Next, extract first part (STR Extract action) add suffix and extension.
