Use of regular expression to exclude characters in file rename,Python?
python,regex,python-2.7,batch-rename
re.sub() returns the altered string, but you ignore the return value. You want to re-assign the result to filename_zero: filename_zero = re.sub("[^\d-]", "", filename_zero) I've corrected your regular expression as well; this removes anything that is not a digit or a dash from the base filename: >>> re.sub(r'[^\d-]', '', '1234567-1(crop...
