You can include the extension by previously selecting the option "Rename whole name", located in the combo button at the top right of the program. It's the little arrow near the Preview button.

Anyway, you don't need regular expressions to do that in vRenamer. Just combine these actions in the main panel:

Text: debian-7.2.0
File name: Nothing here
Text: from_SF_Mirror

And that´s it.

How to expand the filename with some given text?

For example, when you have a folder of a debian distro of a specific version, but unfortunately the files within that folder have only the processor architecture as name, like:

/debian-7.2.0_from_SF_Mirror/
Contains:
amd64.iso
arm.bin
i386.iso
mips.img

While I wanted to have the files like this:

/debian-7.2.0_from_SF_Mirror/
Contains:
debian-7.2.0_amd64_from_SF_Mirror.iso
debian-7.2.0_arm_from_SF_Mirror.bin
debian-7.2.0_i386_from_SF_Mirror.iso
debian-7.2.0_mips_from_SF_Mirror.img

In the current (but unstable) program I use now, I just have to do the regex:

(.+)(\..+)

to select the text elements of the filenames.
And use this regex as replacement:

debian-7.2.0_$1_from_SF_Mirror$2

That's the kind of thing I try to achieve with vRenamer, but it somehow it doesn't want to include the extension of the file into the regex.

 With vRenamer you can start renaming files right away. You don't need to figure out complex patterns to just perform something like this: 

+[[img src=vRenamer02.png]]

 To achieve this is as simple as doing the following:

+[[img src=vRenamer01.png]]

 Maybe you want something a little more elaborated. What about this?

+[[img src=vRenamer04.png]]

 Well, no worries. It's pretty straightforward:

+[[img src=vRenamer03.png]]

 Here is the whole screen. 

+[[img src=vRenamer05.png]]

 I want you to notice some things:

 Manipulating existing file names is one of the most challenging tasks in mass renamers, as you usually need to use regular expressions, which use to be obscure to users. So let's say we have this:

+[[img src=vRenamer07.png]]

 As you can see, we only need a portion of the file name (s##), and dump the rest. Well, only one field and we've got it:

+[[img src=vRenamer08.png]]

 The split field works as a scissor. You cut the filename into pieces, by the string you indicate in the text box (the dot in this case), and use the section 2 only. 
 We can go further. Say we need the files this way:

+[[img src=vRenamer09.png]]

 This time, we need portions 4 and 2. Surely, you've already figured this out:

+[[img src=vRenamer10.png]]

 Now we need from section 2 up to the end

+[[img src=vRenamer11.png]]

 Again, easy and simple:

+[[img src=vRenamer12.png]]

 Find out what else you can do with the differents filename options, and with insert/remove panel as well.

+[[img src=vRenamer13.png]]

 You'll see how easy it is.
