in reply to Re^2: Pattern replace in a file name
in thread Pattern replace in a file name

If you look at the code I posted you see that I have a couple of / in it in addition to the regex I mention in the text. So the code really looks for a sequence of digits and dots between two slashes. It is true it would truncate the path after the first occurrence of such a pattern.
