Batch Rename

[akillerbluesky]

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?

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