# RegEx Examples: Filename Alignment Overide

In BC, the syntax is more of an *ode* to Regex than it is full-on Unix Regex. 

From the menu, choosing `Rules->Misc->AlignmentOveride->[+]` we would put 

**LEFT** `(\w+)(\d+).txt` 

**RIGHT** `$1_$2.log` 

where the $1 and $2 are the captured text from the left side. 

The logic under the BC hood is roughly shown in the screenshot below.
