You say you use Commander. I assume Total Commander.


If so, then select all the files needing changed, which should highlight them RED.

Then, click FILES/MULTI-RENAME TOOL.

In the upper left-hand corner, you will see "Rename Mask: File name" and [N] in the Box.

Let's say you have a file named like this:

Custom1-01 - Artist - Title

Then, place 14- to the right of the "N" inside the bracket to get this:

[N14-]

If you look at the NEW NAME column, you will see the result, which is:

Artist - Title

Click START to complete the operation/change.

So, the number, with a DASH, will be what the Total COUNT of Characters located to the LEFT of the FIRST Character in the ARTIST, assuming ARTIST is the NEXT FIELD, as per the example above, and Add ONE (+1) to actual count of characters to be removed

If you had:

Ah8008-14 - Mardones, Benny - Into The Night.zip

then, counting all the Characters, including spaces, from the Starting Character in ARTIST, which is the letter "M," you will get the number 12.

Add 1 to the actual count: 12 + 1 = 13.

So, to remove Ah8008dash14spacedashspace from the beginning, use [N13-], etc.
