Hi,
I frequently use Automator to fix filenames I work on, but I have 10,000 files I need to rename and need a new workflow I think....
The files are numbered, so the replace text function doesn't work as it only finds that exacts number.
for example, I have
XX1000
XX1001
XX1002
XX1003
etc
and I want to
change those files to
YY0001
YY0002
YY0003
YY0004
I think maybe if I could get automator to replace 'first 6 characters' with my chosen text, that might work?
I'd really appreciate any help with this?
thanks,
Michael
