Hi, I'm looking for a smart bulk file editor, if it exists. Specifically I'd like it to be able to move through a list of PDF files that are published research papers, and rename them in this approximate format, based on the contents of the file: firstauthor_firstfewwordsoftitle_year.pdf I know this is probably a crazy dream. The bulk file editors that I know about are more simple. They can bulk rename files according to a pre-set pattern or they just remove/add/re-position bits from the existing file string. Thanks!
