Code doesn't work

Feedback

The example: "^foo.*bar$" -> Match text that begins with "foo" and ends with "bar" does not work.
The PowerRename only accept this argument like this: "foo.*bar$"

Removing ^ from the regular expression no longer checks that "foo" is at the beginning of the filename text. It will accept filenames where foo is anywhere in the string.
