Summary：Before starting a project, drafts are usually created to describe various details of all files associated with the project. To distinguish these draft files, a template-like prefix is typically added to the beginning of the file names. Once the final version is determined, prefixes like 'draft' are no longer needed, and renaming each file individually to remove them can significantly lower work efficiency. Below is an introduction on how to batch remove the leftmost prefix content from a large number of files, with support for removing suffix content as well.
1、Usage Scenarios
Remove the leftmost prefix content such as numbers, letters, keywords, or key phrases from the file names.
For example: Draft Project Report 1.docx, Draft Team Photo Event 1.jpg, Draft Marketing Analysis 1.xlsx
You need to uniformly remove the "Draft" from the left, resulting in Project Report 1.docx, Team Photo Event 1.jpg, Marketing Analysis 1.xlsx
