Hi there,

Can anyone help me with a script to change filenames from:

SURNAME Firstname.psd

to

Surname Firstname.psd

Thanks for any help.

Correct answer Stephen Marsh

Unless you need to incorporate the rename into another script, you don’t need scripting to do this, the standard Batch Rename tool is more than capable!

The following is just the first method that I came up with… I am hoping to come up with a more elegant solution.

I tried to make it robust so that it would work with any combination of uppercase/lowercase patterns.

Thanks Stephen. This worked perfectly. I've since discovered I can use Automator to achieve the same result, but it's nice to be able to stay in Bridge. Although I still can't believe they don't include this as an option. Thanks again!

Agreed, it should be a standard option along with original/upper/lowercase. Sadly when it comes to Bridge, there are many things that are hard to believe.

    I don't understand your issue? The script is at the previous link...Or are you referring to the Batch Rename regular expressions used in the screenshot in my other topic reply?
