Regular Expressions Support in A Better Finder Rename

A Better Finder Rename allows you to use an advanced technique called “Regular Expression Substitution” to replace text segments.

This is an advanced technique which requires a certain familiarity with programming concepts and may thus prove inappropriate for novice computer users.

The feature is available via the Replace regular expression and the Re-arrange using regular expressions actions in the Advanced & Special category. The help topics for either action contain a mini-tutorial on how to get started.

An overview of basic regular expression syntax is available in the Basic Regular Expression Syntax help topic.

The full supported syntax is documented on the ICU website.

There are number of good regular expression tutorial available on the internet:
