Striping Out Prefix Numbers

Hello there

I would like to start by saying I have been looking for a program like this for ages, I?m well pleased with it.

But my questions is this, I have a load of files all names in numerical order like this

0001 - Afilename.zip
0002 - Bfilename.zip
0003 - Cfilename.zip

But I need to get rid of the numbers and spacers at the beginnings so they will sort in alphabetical order.

any help will be great

cheers,

Hi willz smile

To do that you can simply use Delete rule: from position 1 until delimiter "-" (dash). This will remove everything from the beginning to the first dash, including the dash it self. To fix up the spaces, use CleanUp rule: fix spaces option. There are also few other very sophisticated ways of doing the same thing - using RegEx or PascalScript rules, but these 2 steps above should do the job.
