Rename files after transcode

[VirtuWeb]

I need to see if there is a way to rename a file after transcode with the original file name minus a specified character. For instance and original file will coming in at SPOT1234H.mpg I need to have it saved after it has been sent through the directed encoder to SPOT1234.mpg. I just need to drop the "H"

Hopefully this is possible.

Thanks

Hello VirtuWeb,

VirtuWeb you have to know Encodem forces me to work with ReGex and I have to find a solution for you now
I think you have to populate a variable after the monitor folder and use this regex :
(\w+)(\d+)
It will filter your name and keep all characters before numbers(\w+) and keep the numbers(\d+). Sorry but I must admit I don't work my Regex since quiet long time so not sure it's ok...

So populate variable and use this : $regext("%s_original_name%","(\w+)(\d+)") and put this new variable in the delivery node instead of name.

Anyway, Encodem will tell us if I'm wrong (cause I'm really not sure of myself)

Cheers

Thank you so much Benjamin ...i am so proud of you, the concept of the solution is perfect and definitely works for the provided example filename, well done!
