Hi, I have lots of files named like 07X55c_IMG_0155.png where 07X55c is a random text of varable lengths which I want to cut so that the file will be renamed to IMG_0155.png In my simple-mindedness I just opened mc, selected all the files and typed in the rename dialog replace *IMG* by IMG* The result though, as you for sure knew (but me only now) were files named like IMG07X55c_ - not what I expected :-( No need to say, but anyway: I have not the slightest idea of regular expressions and such sophisticated things, so that I kindly ask you for your help: how can I rename all files in a directory, cutting off the variable length part before "IMG" and keeping all the rest on the right side of IMG unchanged. Thanks for making me a little bit more enlightened!
