Need help to enhance Y2K date prefixing routine

[_jims]

@WebbWebs

I ONLY want to use this on IMAGE files. (Check for extension, filetype, etc?)

I DON'T want it used twice on a given file. (Search fist 9 chars of filename for "yyyymmdd_" format, and skip if it matches?)

Hi, @WebbWebs. This approach will address the above requirements:

As written, the macro will only process files with a jpg or jpeg extension (ignoring case). You'll want to add the extensions for the other files that you want to process.

In the macro, modify the following string found in the If Then Else action:

(?i)^(jpg|jpeg)$

For example, you could change the string to:

(?i)^(jpg|jpeg|png)$

The (?i) specifies that the match is case-insensitive.
