Hi, I am trying to update the name of my attributes but am having a hard time.

Thank you for the the help. I can get is working this way but I have a lot of files and am trying to automate it. Is there any way using regex I can seperate 'BEC' from 'BEC: Revenue' and 'Expenditure' from 'BAC: Expenditure'. If I can do that for one I can use the same process for 15 other files which all have attribute name in the format 'AB:DE' where sometimes I need 'AB' and sometimes 'DE'

You can change the AttributeNames this way using the BulkAttributeRenamer, but I don't think you can write the changed attributenames as long as the writer is static.
