Rename File - Remove Characters

Posted on 15 Apr 2024 20:06:51 by marksben32

Hello,

I have over 30 files I download daily into 1 folder that all have different names. I need to remove the last 13 characters on each file name, so from the dash to the end. I just don't know what to put in "text to remove". Everything I've tried gives me an error. Is this possible?

For this example I just need it to be ABCDE Test and FGHIJ Report.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
