Kirk's favorite nuts are his own.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Did you hear about the riot at the dairy farm? It was udder chaos.

It is common knowledge that so are tomatoes.
Wisdom is not including either in a fruit salad.

Ask a botanist, and the reply would be yes: an olive, just like a plum or a cherry, is a fruit.
In culinary terms, however, olives are like those other fruit, tomatoes, and are treated as a vegetable: we eat them in savory dishes, on their own as a snack, or hors d’oeuvre.

After ruminating for a while, I believe that joke should be killed by driving a steak through its heart.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I am using an app called "Bulk Rename Utility"
It can be found HERE
It renames a bunch of files (thousands if you want)
According to its own documentation, it uses pattern matching, stating...
the syntax supported by this program is the same as that offered by PERL 5
...with a link to the PERL 5 site HERE
Could someone who is familiar with that standard please tell me how I can put an underscore character after the letters "DSC" in a file name ?
i.e., The "_" character (no quotes) also known as ASCII character 05Fh
Evidently, that character has special meanings and powers in the PERL syntax.

If so, escape it.

can take the person out of it, but cant take it out of the person.

Why PERL? Use standard regex to find matches and then do a replace...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

BRU allows you to append it anywhere or replace it. If you're using that, it should allow you a preview of the new filename (assuming you're using the GUI).

You are Correct
Bassam Abdul-Baki wrote: it should allow you a preview of the new filename
I made an error, and now want to correct it.
Certain filenames had a sort of nomenclature like this...
"xxxxxxx_4"
Bulk Rename Utility successfully removed the "_4" as I requested (actually, "_\d", no quotes) but it also removed several thousand desirable instances of that pattern which were embedded into other file names.
i.e., the desired part is in the middle of other file names, which I did not see on the preview screen when I was targeting the pattern on the end of the file names.

Then remove from position might be better or backwards replace. They may also have instance count, but I'm not at my desk to verify.
I've been using BRU for years. My first thought was ugly GUI and my second was amazing GUI. It really can do anything. Just preview before accepting.

Mind reader ?
Exact same thoughts here.

No, the filenames are not currently uniform, so the trailing underscore and digit (sometimes there were two digits) could be at position N, N+1, N+2, etc.
I don't know how to do a backwards replace. Is that in their help facility ?
Can you show me here ?

Seems to be more complicated than I remember. Try this:
In RegEx (1):
Match: (.*)-\d+([^-]+)
Replace: \1\2

Interesting educational activity here on CodeProject.
In my previous post, I placed these three bytes in squence
Quotation mark " (Ascii 022h)
Underscore _ (Ascii 05Fh)
The digit 4 (Ascii 034h)
Quotation mark " (Ascii 022h)
i.e., These four bytes...
"_4"
The CodeProject website removed the underscore from the screen.
A backslash put it back in.

What is this monstrosity of a UI?
It would be quicker to do this with a quick-and-dirty PowerShell script, IMO.
