# Inserting characters into filenames

You can use Renamer to insert text at specific character positions in filenames.

## To insert characters into filenames:

Drag the files you want to rename from the Finder to the file table.

Click and choose Characters.

Click Insert.

Type the characters you want to insert into the “Insert text” box.

Enter the character position at which to insert the text in the “At position” box.

Click Apply.

By default the character position is counted from the left of the filename, with 0 meaning the text is inserted before the first character, 1 after the first character, and so on.

You can change the character position to be counted from the right of the filename by clicking . In this case a character position of 0 means the text is inserted after the last character, 1 before the last character, and so on. This is useful if each filename has a different length and you want to, say, insert text before the second-to-last character (character position 2).
