hi i was just wondering
like i want to just keep the last 20 characters of any filename
in totalcmd i can batch rename (syntax would be "N(-20,20)" but since its 1mio files totalcmd hangsup crashes
so everything handles the 1mio file folder but i have not found any hint for the syntax in the renaming help section
any ideas if that specific is possible?

Select multiple files.
Press F2.
Check regular expressions.
Set the Old format to: ^.*(.{20}\.[^.]+)$
^ = match start of filename
.* = match any character any number of times.
( ) = capture match
.{20} = match 20 characters
\. = match a single literal .
[^.]+ = match anything but a . any number of times.
$ = macth the end of the filename.
Set the New format to: \1
Review the new filenames and click OK.
