Any tools to rename a list of filename?

[Guest Eric]

Does anyone know any tools to rename a list of filenames?

for example,

The format for filename is [project name] + [project number] + [project

version]

 

Financal - 158 - r

Financal - 158 - x

Financal - 158 - s

....

 

I would like to rename those filenames into

Financal - 600 - r

Financal - 600 - x

Financal - 600 - s

....

 

Does anyone know any tools to do that?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

In your particular case, you should be able to just do:

 

ren "Financial - 158 - ?" "Financial - 600 - ?"

 

(this wouldn't work if 158 wasn't the same # of chars as 600)

 

For more complicated renames, you could try BRU (Bulk Rename Utility),

which is available (for free) at:

It takes a bit of learning to get familiar with all that it can do, but

it can do very complicated renames.

Or do in DOS (if you've still got it), and you won't need ANY utility.

Look at the utility. It's freakin' amazing.
