Hi. I apologize for not being more knowledgeable about REGEX, but I have been tryng to create a regex for renaming files after they have been grabbed. I want the regex to apply to a filename that contains any value ('.*') and replaces it with a specific filename format. The specific filename format should be something like four sequential digits followed by the filetype (ex. 0001.mp4, 0002.mp4, 0003.mp4, etc.). The 'Search for' value of .* is working, but I have not been able to figure out how to format the 'Replace by' value.

I appreciate any assistance that can be offered!

@timba1210:
When you do it via Rightclick->Properties->Rename (F2)
then for example this would do it

search for: ^(.*)\.([a-z0-9]+)$
replace by: <jd:indexof>.$2

Or you can use Packagizer for it, see https://support.jdownloader.org/de/k...the-packagizer
for example:

match always
then
filename - <jd:indexof>.<jd:orgfiletype>

Maybe you can explain what you're trying to achieve and then we can maybe provide better help/solutions

By way of explaining what I am trying to accomplish, and the reason I wanted to know how to do this for a rename task rather than Packagizer, is that sometimes (without having a common source or other common characteristic), I will find links where the name of the file to be downloaded does not fit my needs in terms of the filename length or format. In those cases, I wanted to know how to use the rename function to replace the original filename with one of my choosing.
