Python: Renaming PDFs using text inside a document with regex
In this tutorial, we expand on renaming PDFs using regular expressions (regex). This is one of the many examples of using regex, if you have different requirements it will require a different regex expression.
I have posted a written explanation of the regular expression used in the video on GitHub.
