Batch rename images with consecutive numbering into middle of filenames

Hi all,

 

I'm wondering if it's possible for batch rename to implement consecutive numbering into the MIDDLE of a filename.  In the attached example, I want to replace the  .1's  with .1, .2., .3 etc but keep everything else identical. 

 

Would appreciate any instructions, as hard to figure it out within the batch rename function....

A 2-step approach as the original 1-step intermediate filename method was giving me problems, the preview didn't match the results!

 

Work on file copies until you know that this gives you the expected result!

 

STEP 1:

2024-02-28_22-39-22 (1).png

 

STEP 2:

2024-02-28_22-53-59 (1).png

 

Find:

(^0+)(\d+)(\w+\.\w+\.)(\d)(.+)(\.[^\.]+$)

 

Replace (Use Regular Expression):

$3$2$5$6

 

The final result:

FM.L1522.1_Result-7
FM.L1522.2_Result-8
FM.L1522.3_Result-9
FM.L1522.4_Result-10
FM.L1522.5_Result-11

I had to remove the original suggestion as it had unforeseen errors.

Thanks - 

Not experienced with this coding business, so a question - 

 

Would the content in step 2 remain the same whether renumbering small groups of e.g. 5 images, or large groups of e.g. 50 images in this way?   I.e. could I save this as a preset, and use it for different sized groups of images in future?

It should... I tried to make it robust and flexible, however, I only tested on 5 images.

 

Work on duped copies until you know, just in case.
