Batch Rename Program

broken image


The result of the program can be either renaming, or returning a renamed copy. The former seems easier to do. So to summarize: step 1: Run program step 2: integer = number of files step 3: loop: 3.A check first two digits, copy to a temp string. 3.B compare the temp string with an array of predefined filenames. For renaming folders, Batch Script provides the REN or RENAME command. For renaming files, Batch Script provides the REN or RENAME command. Syntax RENAME drive:pathdirectoryname1 filename1 directoryname2 filename2 Let's take a look at some examples of renaming files. Examples rename.txt.bak The above command will rename all text files to files with.bak extension. Rename 'TESTA.txt' 'TESTB.txt'. Batch Rename is a tiny utility that simplifies the procedure of renaming files. It allows changing names of a range of files by defining a special pattern. The program can really help in time saving, because you don't have to change the name of each file manually. It has a very simple and easy-to-use interface.
