OK I have bulkmanage installed but I suck at regular expressions.
How do I strip the first two characters of file names or Titles?
All my filenames are like 01zoo.jpg 02airport.jpg etc
I want my titles to look like zoo, airport etc

If there is another way please let me know
I would also consider a script that strips numerals off the Title column in the database.

I don't want to use a desktop utility to strip names before uploading.
I want it done on the server.

most php functions should work so... this should work:
{$theme.item.title|substr:2}

there is also a 3rd party module to prepend and append titles but I have never tried it:
