Hi all, I've tried to do this myself, but I'm running into a wall.
I need to create a grep find and replace to change all "numbers.tif" into "letters.tif". The text file has a few hundred "events" like this one: 001 0000 V C 00:02:19:18 00:02:25:07 00:02:19:18 00:02:25:07 * FROM CLIP NAME: 1234.tif * FROM CLIP IS A STILL After the replacing, it should read: 001 0000 V C 00:02:19:18 00:02:25:07 00:02:19:18 00:02:25:07 * FROM CLIP NAME: ABCD.tif * FROM CLIP IS A STILL I've been trying to get this done with search strings like (0?)\.tif and replacement strings like (A)\.tif as you can tell, I'm not very proficient with grep, the last time I used it may well be 15 years ago… There must be a more simple way to turn e.g. 0000.tif into AAAA.tif (etc.) while leaving all other numbers alone. I've already renamed all the .tif files that this text file refers to using Name Mangler. Is there anyone who can help me write the grep search/replace or a BBEdit text factory?
