I am trying to rename a group of images using batch rename in bribge.
my file names are as follows:
0025_12548.NEF
0026_15942.NEF
0029_24965.NEF
0032_32549.NEF
0035_35492.NEF
0038_85426.NEF
...ETC
The first 4 numbers are a sequince number and the last 5 numbers are a student ID number that was changed using a Tether program when the photo was taken.
I am needing to remove the sequince number so we have just the student ID number as the file name.
12548.NEF
15942.NEF
24965.NEF
32549.NEF
35492.NEF
85426.NEF
I have seen ways to do it with Regular Expression through the community just cant figure it out or is there an easier way?
i have found the solution.

Yes use a regex for this. You have to find a pattern- for example, does removing the first five characters work for all files?
