replace / change position

Hi to everyone,

I have learned that there are regular expressions.
I'm just not sure if it's possible to solve my problem with it.

Current file name:
First name(space!!!)Last name(space)- everything after the hyphen should remain as it is
Desired result:
Last name,(space)first name(space)- everything after hyphen as in original filename.

Is it possible to implement something here with regular expressions and if so, how?
Sure, double names etc. will cause problems, I can live with that.

kind regards
Peter

Hello Peter,

I guess this is what you were looking for:

Swap name and surname, with 2 and 3 words

P.S. You can search forum before posting. Someone might asked the same or similar question already.

Cheers!

Hi eR@SeR,
this is something I have already found - but did not help to me. Possibly input error/user error
