Hi folks.

Per title, I'm after a way to rename something like:

mistake-albumformat (directory)
or mistake-trackformat.file (file)
or mistake1-trackformat.file (file)

to:

fixed_-_albumformat
fixed_-_trackformat.file
fixed1_-_trackformat.file

(respectively)

... but to avoid renaming cases such as:

good - albumformat
good_-_trackformat.file

I hope I explained that clearly.

Thanks in advance,
John

I don't know if this is exactly what you mean, but try this RegEx Rule.
Expression: ([0-9A-Z])-([0-9A-Z])
Replace: $1_-_$2
