I succeeded with difficulty with a macro, but there may be a simple way ? (substitution, block mode, macro or anything else..)
It's for my personal knowledge,
Regards.
You can remember parts of a match with capture groups: \( and \). So match and
remember everything up to the last digit \d, plus the rest of the line .*
(but don't remember this part), and use \1 to put back the remembered part of
the line, and manually add the extension .mkv:
:%s/\(.*\d\).*/\1.mkv
See :help pattern-searches, :help pattern-atoms and in particular :help \(
You could also remember the extension with a second capture group and add it
back like with \2:
:%s/\(.*\d\).*\(\.mkv\)/\1\2
