Rename question - I only want last 4 digits of original name

The camera I have now generates names such as "PICT1122" I have some files from a camera I no longer have that generated names with 7 numerals ("P1122333") after a letter.
My naming system is comprised of "YYMMDD_1122" with the 4 #'s being the camera generated number.
This works with my current files in LR renaming option by choosing "numeral suffix" as the option. When I choose this option with my older files though, it pulls all 7 numerals, and I just want the last 4.
Is there a way to do this? Or can someone suggest a way to batch rename that would get rid of the 3 numerals I don't want?

Yes, I have used the Import from Camera script in Bridge awhile ago and forgot about it. I have also used Image Ingester which would work.
I am not going to buy a whole program like ACDSee just to rename. And I do plan to rename before Importing into LR. Although I have already imported some, changed the file name to the 4 numerals instead of the 7 and I was pleasently surprised to discover that LR DID recognize them. My thought is that it is just when they are moved, that they are not recognized.
I would bet there is also a way to do this with Automator, just have to find someone who knows how.
Thanks for the suggestions.

  • In Lion, Word for Mac only prints last two digits of year

    In Snow Leopard, the automatic dates that auto fill in Word for Mac (08, 2011) worked fine...BUT since I 'upgraded' to Lion, (10.7.3) only the last two digits of the year will autofill, EVEN in full date mode...ie, SHOULD BE:
    February 21, 2012
    BUT auto filled as: February 21, 12
    I saw on a MS help site that it's ID'ed as a problem in Lion:
    From http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2008-macword/automatic-dat e-entry-doesnt-enter-entire-year/91793432-006b-4f6a-99fa-cf425266cb84
    This was the query:
    automatic date entry doesn't enter entire year
    Applies To: Office for Mac | Office 2008 for Mac | Word for Mac
    When I enter the weekday at the beginning of a sentence, the month, date and year are automatically filled in. However, instead of having the whole years, such as 2011, it only enters the last two digits, such as "11". This is new since an update a month or so ago. I would like to set it back to the original "Friday, November 04, 2011" if possible.
    Appreciate any help I can get.
    ANSWER:
    Its a bug in OSX.7 evidently MS has not rung up Apple and said hey get off your duff and fix this date issue.  If you can find a place to send bug report to Apple do so.
    So I checked the OSX Lion support site on apple.com and could not find an answer.
    Does anyone know how to fix or how to get Apple to fix?
    Thank you.

    It's a bug, but whether it's a bug for Apple to fix or for Microsoft to fix is unknown. The thread you post is unauthoritative, being only comments by other users who have no more idea as to where the bug really lies (unless an Apple engineer has confirmed a Lion bug, something I've not seen) as any other user does; no one in that thread works for or speaks for either Microsoft nor Apple.
    You can comment on the issue to Apple, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    but whether it's something they can fix or whether it's Microsoft's problem I can't say.

  • Symbian reading only last 6 digits problem! critic...

    I was told that the problem with symbian phones reading only the last 6 digits of the callers phone number has been around for some time now.
    Let me explain to all the people that do not know what i'm talking about:
    The problem is that the phone only reads the last 6 numbers of the callers phone nubmer and then searches your contacts for this number. Well that works "ok" untill you have a phone number like 041-XYZ-XYZ and 031-XYZ-XYZ stored in your phone book. Now there are 3 possible outcomes:
    1.) You have neither of the number stored in your phonebook = you will get the correct caller NUMBER displayed
    2.) You have one of the numbers in your phonebook = no mater which number calls you, the ID will allways be the number you have stored.
    3.)in the 3rd case where you have both numbers stored, you will get the right number that is calling you, but not the caller ID of that number that you have stored in your phonebook.
    So, my question is, IS NOKIA PLANNING TO RELEASE A FIX FOR THIS??? Because it's been here for too long! I had a nokia 6234 before my n78 now, and this problem was fixed there, have in mind that the 6234 is 2 years older!
    So how come that you cannot make a software update for symbian smart phones in at least 2 years? After all they are called SMART PHONES.
    Nokia help center from slovenia didn't have an answer wheter there is a fix on this problem beeing made....
    Please help, it's realy anoing, and talk about identity theft (it works the same with SMS's too) --> Whats the presidents and his secretary number again?!

    @ slay, if you want to tell something to Nokia use the 'contact us' button in the upper right hand side of this page. this is a user to user forum. Nokia will not hear you on these boards at least not in official capacity, nor will they respond to your plea...just keep that in mind.

  • How to display only last 4 digits of tax number in Vendor Master view MK03

    Dear experts,
    In the Vendor Master view by Purchasing Organization (MK03), is there a way that will allow the user to view only the last four digits of the Vendor tax number?
    For example: Display only **-*-6789 (or blank spaces), instead of 123-45-6789 ?
    Any ideas and insights are much appreciated. Will award points for help.

    In your report, just do a substr(ssn,5,4) for your new & improved SSN field to be displayed:
    SELECT First,

  • Show last four digits of credit card

    Hi all,
    From SBO 8.8 the credit card is encrypted and cannot be read from sql table.
    I try to make a crystal report layout for Incoming payment, this layout should contain last four digits of credit card. When the layout is printed the credit card number is shown as encrypted data.

  • When I want to add items to the bookmarks toolbar, for example: -Zoom toolbar. The zoom Toolbar appears on the bookmarks toolbar, but it shows the favicons aswell the underlined text. I only want the favicons. How to do this, please help!!

    I want to add items to the bookmarks toolbar. for example: the Zoom Toolbar addon. This works, but not only the favicons appear on the bookmarks toolbar, aswell as the underlined text. How to avoid this?
    I only want the favicons from an addon to appear on the bookmarks toolbar, not with the underlined text. How to do this?
    This problem doesn't happen with any other toolbar. And this problem didn't happen with an earlier version of firefox. Please Help!
    Thanx, BassMann.

    If you only want the favicons and not the names of the bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar, you can do that with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4072/ Smart Bookmarks Bar] add-on.

  • HT5961 I want to receive the verification code for the keychain but I was sent to unknown number because the last two digits do not represent my phone number

    I want to receive the verification code for the keychain but I was sent to unknown number because the last two digits do not represent my phone number, so how can I change it to receive it on my cell phone ?

    I found this in the iCloud Keychain FAQs:
    How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device if I don't have one of my other devices to approve from?
    If you don't have access to any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
    - Your iCloud Security Code
    - The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you don't have access to this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity so that you can complete setup on your new device.
    - If you have these items, follow the iCloud Keychain setup steps documented above. Your iCloud Keychain will then be pushed from the cloud to the new device.
    So it seems that you would have to directly contact the Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/

  • I have a question about the suggestion that only the last tab loaded shows up so Firefox can load faster.

    My question is this:
    If I do as you suggest in the General Tab of Preferences - see below - how do I get all the other tabs back if only the last one shows? If they are hidden, I need to know how to access them.
    Your directions which I need help with....Don’t load tabs until selected. Voila! Now, only the last tab you were working in will be loaded on startup.
    THANKS.

    The Tabs are all there, the only thing this preference does is tell firefox to only download the open tab. If you click on the other tabs, they will download too. The theory is, by only downloading and displaying one webpage, it can be displayed for you faster than if 5 webpages were being downloaded at once.

  • HT4075 I don't have any problems merging the documents by dragging, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I tried save and export, how can I create the file after merging?

    Hi, I'm having trouble saving the documents when merging in Preview. I don't have any problems merging the pdf documents by dragging them in preview, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I've tried save and export, but none merge the documents after saving... how can I create the file (with all the pdf files) after merging?

    That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

  • Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. When I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000  contacts are not listed

    Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. However, when I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 plus contacts are not listed, and it makes you difficult to call through contact

    The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
    Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list.  It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it.  You need to add a few names.

  • TS3899 My email only shows last weeks worth of mail! I want it to show all of my mail previous

    My email only shows last weeks worth of mail! I want it to show all of my mail previous

    There are a couple of things that could be deleting mail messages.
    In Mac's Mail app click on the Mail > Preferences menu item. Now select your offending mail account from the Accounts list.  Now click on Advanced.  There is a setting to "remove copy from server after retrieving message."  The Mail app will delete messages from your email service based on this setting.  This will not delete messages from your computer.
    If you are losing messages from your computer then click on  Rules in Mail's Preferences, then check each "rule" to see if there is one that could be deleting messages. Click on the rule and then  on Edit to see the rules criteria
    Example of a rule that would delete messages:
    If neither of these is your problem I suggest you check with Yahoo to see if there is a setting  on their service that could be deleting messages.

  • Smart phones compare last 7 digits only, recognize...

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my N70 and I believe it exists with other smart phones models as I've read in other forum. Not exists in my old Nokia 6230i nor other than nokia models.
    The problem is that new nokia phones recognize two different numbers as duplicate if the last 7 digits are the same. In Saudi Arabia the mobile numbers are 10 digits. So If I have in my contacts two different persons and both their mobile number ending with same 7 digits and one of them called me, the name will not appear. Instead, the number will appear. Also, in the call list (dialed, received, missed) the name will not appear. It's common to find two persons with same last 7 digits number. And some maybe request that (father and son, mother and daughter, husband and wife).
    Nokia smart phones having this problem long time ago. And many update released for many phones models, but, still having the same problem.
    Regards

  • Masking a String with only last 2 digits displayed

    Hi,
    I will get a list of account numbers from the DB which I need to mask it with "$" except the last 2 characters. It will be numeric
    and the size is 15 in DB. Like for example , i may get the account numbers which are of 10 character width as well as 15 character width but still i need to parse
    the account number and display only the last 2 numbers in it with other numbers masked with "$".
    Like $$$$$$$$$$$$$54 for 15 digit account number. The above needs to be done with in a loop as there a list of account numbers which
    will be retreived from the DB. Which is the best possible way to do this?
    Thanks,

    What a man Sabre150, a single line which solved the problem. I was thinking regex . Thanks you very much.Impressive. But I would implement Winston's suggestion to isolate that in a method with a meaningful name and proper Javadoc. No problem - I would do the same.
    For me regexp-impaired, this one-line expression is as cryptic as Wookian.I often see statements like this. Would you advise Java programmers not to use Java templates because they can make code very difficult to follow for people who have not studied them? Would you advise programmers to use simple linear search rather than the Knuth-Morris-Pratt search algorithm because KMP functionality may not be obvious to the people who have to maintain the software? Would you advise programmer not to use the FFT algorithm but to use a simplistic DFT algorithm because the maintainers may not understand the FFT? I hope not.
    That very short regular expression may not be part of regex101(though I think it could be) but if one understands the very basics of regex then one can get the essence. In regex, a single '.' stands for any character. The term '(?=..)' is a positive look ahead for any two characters so '.(?=..)' says look for any character that is followed by two more.
    The replaceAll() says every time you find a character followed by two more then replace it with a '$'. Obviously only the last two characters are not followed by two more so they do not match. The '\ \' is needed because '$' is a meta-character when used in the replacement so it needs escaping with a '\' prefix but since '\' is a meta character in Java Strings literals the '\' needs escaping.
