[RESOLVED] Find 2 digit number in string and move to front

[scrupul0us]

I'm basically trying to save myself from manually renaming a TON of files

every file has a 2 digit number in it and i need to move it from where ever it may be in the file name to the front (with a space)

so... something like:

trance mix 43 by dj whoever.mp3

would rename to

43 trance mix by dj whoever.mp3

---OR---

mix52undergroundhiphop.mp3

would rename to

52 mixundergroundhiphop.mp3

i can do the loops in the dir's... its the finding and moving the number portion that im stumped on

TIA

How about...

$newName = preg_replace('#^(.*)(\d\d)\s?(.*)$#', "$2 $1$3", $oldName);
