I have thousands of files that start with dates written as

YYYYMMDD

and I need to transform their names into

YYYY MM DD

The below patterns do not work:

[n4] [n,5-6] [n,7-8]
[n4] [n,5,6] [n,7,8]
[n4] [n,5][n,6] [n,7][n,8]

Can anyone help me with this?

It looks it's a bug, this should work:

[n4] [n,5,6] [n,7,8]

FC 900 32-bit, 900 64-bit, Windows 10 22H2 64-bit.

I went back [from the above yours version] to build 880 x86 and in it this also does not work

The proper pattern is:

[n4] [n,5,2] [n,7,2]

[n4] - first X characters
[n,5,2] - Name from x (5), y (2) characters
[n,7,2] - Name from x (7), y (2) characters

Yes, thank you

This seems to be what I need:

[n4] [n,5,2] [n,7,2] [n,9]
