Multi rename: Possible to use wildcards and regex?

e.g. I have a bunch of files of the form

file_name_random_digits.ext

I'd want to use regex to identify the digits, and renumber using the [c] wildcard. But if you activate regex then you cannot use wildcards at all.
Is this possible, maybe in a future version?

If the number of digits is the same, then you can use this:

Code: Select all

[n,-3][c]
The number 3 is the number of digits/characters to cut. More options are on the blue icon next to File name field.

The number of digits is, but where those digits are in the filename is not.
Also, just generally, it would be good to have the ability to use both at the same time. I assume (probably wrongly) that it would be relatively trivial to code :)
