remove all except one word

Re-Hi

Is possible remove all but one word in a file? For example, if the file is named:

Jovanotti - Il quinto mondo - front1.jpg

is possible delete all except "front" to have this result

front.jpg

thanks

You can use a single Insert rule to replace the entire file name with "front":

Insert: Insert "front" replacing current name (skip extension)

but I wish it was Renamer to notice if, among other files, it is one with no name inside "front" and that the rename...

I don't fully understand you, but if you only need to change files which actually do contain "front" word, then you could use a RegEx rule:

Replace expression ".*\b(front)[\b\d].*" with "$1" (skip extension)

Input:

Jovanotti - Il quinto mondo - front1.jpg
Jovanotti - Il quinto mondo.jpg

Output:

front.jpg
Jovanotti - Il quinto mondo.jpg

If that is not what you want, then provide several complete examples which demonstrate what you want.

it is exactly what I want
Now I will try to figure out how to follow your help

I have proglem with the RegEx rule. In "Expression" I have write:

Replace expression ".*\b(front)[\b\d].*" with "$1" (jpg extension)

I have change (skip extension) becouse I want that it change only jpg extension files, is correct?

And in Replace what I must write?

You are not entering the rule configuration correctly.

Here is a demonstration of how it should be entered:

Jovanotti - Il quinto mondo - front1.jpg

Change the expression to:

\A.*\b(front)(\b|[\d]+)\Z

[Cd Cover] Frankie Hi-NRG Mc - Verba Manent - front.jpg

That is because the rule excepts the "front" to be separated by a word boundary, while "_" character is considered to be part of a word.

A slightly adjusted expression should make it work:

\A.*(\b|_)(front)(\b|[\d]+)\Z

And change the replacement to:

$2
