I am trying to use ReNamer regular expressions to reverse folder names that use author names. They are set up as LastName, FirstName
and I need to change them to FirstName LastName
(minus the comma).
In ReNamer regular expressions usage is set up as Expression on one line and Replace on the second. I assume in this case Input then Output. I've tried several solutions from here but could not get anything to work at all. I barely understand the extreme basics of regex so any and all help is much appreciated.
According to file and folder renaming program, ReNamer, regex is the only option of several choices that will do what I need. I tried someones suggestion from another site. In the Expression Line I typed ([^,]*), (.)
then in the Replace Line I typed \2 \1
. The result changed Duncan, Dave
to 2 1
.
