There’s another example of deleting filename text ahead, under “Multiple-Pass Renaming.” Add Text to Filenames So, if you’ve decided that Monthly Report for January and its subsequent files are a tad redundant, set Find to monthly-making sure to include the trailing space-and leave Replace With empty. You can also use the Replace Text option to delete text from a filename: simply enter the delete target in Find, and leave Replace With blank. (Undo details are in the “Quick Tips” list at the end of this article.) I recommend using full words to avoid problems that you might not notice while they’re still easily undo-able-although I confess this is a case of “Do as I say, not as I do.” If it’s too late to undo the mistake, it’s usually a cinch to do a second, more careful, batch rename to correct the issue. You might be tempted to use the even briefer change of ly to hly with that approach, however, if some of the files were correctly named to begin with, they would wind up with an extra h-monthhly. Or, use shorter text replacement, such as substituting tly for thly as long as it wouldn’t interfere with other text in the filenames.
