Serialize in Increments of two (Odd/Even)

This is my first time using the Renamer program & so far its been very good - but I am having trouble figuring out how I can get it to name files in odds and evens.
I am trying to rename files that are named serially to numbers that increase by two - I know using the serialize and remove will help, but it doesn't replace the original number - can anyone help?

Here are my filenames:

000001odd
000002odd
000003odd
000004odd
etc.

I want to change them to:

000001
000003
000005
000007
etc.

Thanks

Re: Serialize in Increments of two (Odd/Even)

To remove the original name, use Delete rule: from position 1, until the end, skip extension.

To insert new numbers as ODDs, use Serialize rule: index start at 1, step 2, pad to length 6.

To insert new numbers as EVENs, use Serialize rule: index start at 2, step 2, pad to length 6.
