How to add a space between a character and number?

I have hundreds of files which look similar to the example below:

Weather2 Grange.zip

Needing to bulk rename them all so they look like this: Weather 2 Grange.zip

The files are all different character lengths, meaning words are different, however the numbers are always positioned immediately after a letter and without a space.

Any ideas how to do this?

Hi,

Try this RegEx rule:

1) Regular Expressions: Replace expression "([A-Za-z]+)(\d+)" with "$1 $2" (skip extension)

From:

Weather2 Grange.zip
Weather12.zip
Word Weather0123456789 Grange.zip

To:

Weather 2 Grange.zip
Weather 12.zip
Word Weather 123456789 Grange.zip

If you have any other symbol in word+digit(s), just add it inside [A-Za-z] part like [A-Za-z#$] etc.
