Removing part of the existing file name is a bit beyond what the cloning tool can do, but you can accomplish it with only a little more work on your part.
[ol][li]Start the clone operation, specify a log file for output, and turn on the 'dry run' option.[/li]
[li]Add your files as necessary.[/li]
[li]Define a naming rule (replace), enter "_rev" as the base string and "__" as the replace string. This will turn "abcd_rev01" into "abcd__01"; you don't have to use a double underscore as the replace string, but use something that will yield a unique string to find later.[/li]
[li]Execute the clone operation (double check that you are in dry run mode first).[/li]
[li]Open the clone log file in a text editor that supports regular expression search and replace. I prefer
notepad++, but there are others.[/li]
[li]Change the line: "&LOG Default_Naming_Technique: [highlight #FCE94F]NAMING_RULE[/highlight]" to "&LOG Default_Naming_Technique: [highlight #FCE94F]USER_NAME[/highlight]" and delete the following line (the one that lists the naming rule originally used).[/li]
[li]Use search and replace, use "__\d{1,2}" for the search string and nothing for the replacement.[/li]
[li]Save the file, start another clone operation. On the "log files" tab, choose "load and apply existing log file", choose your edited log file and run the clone operation.[/li][/ol]
