Would it be possible to write another batch file that takes the Names.txt and reverses the process for the output files? So it will take a folder with 1.raw, 1.something, 1.something else, refer to the Names.txt and rename them to Example_1.raw etc? ![]() Thanks to the way in which DOS processes numbers this does mean that I get a slightly wonky numbering process, ie it will process Ex_1, Ex_10, Ex_100, Ex_101 as 1, 2, 3, 4 which would lead to more work in the post processing of these results in order to get the right results in the right places. RAWs as 1.RAW, 2.RAW etc and creates Names.txt with the old and new filenames. I've written a batch file that does the renaming and stores the old and new filenames in a text file, my code is: offįor %%f in (*.RAW) do (set file=%%f) & CALL :rename I have a need to convert these file names into numbers for running through a batch processor that then produces more files as outputs. This then adds extra significant figures to the number as necessary, eg. A slightly archaic question I'm afraid but here goes: I did this by pasting the ren command with the old and new name from spreadsheet to wordpad & then saving it as a. The closest I have come is renaming files in folders from command prompt at the lowest folder location & can only rename the files in that folder only I have tried using “ren” by and adding ren “old path with old name” “new path with old name” but cannot get it to work. There is not a pattern to the names and they do contain spaces and non alpha-numeric characters. The new name in cell AB must be the name that replaces the old name in cell A2. I have the full path containing the old name in an excel column matched to the full path containing the new name in the adjacent excel column. Parent folder is the lowest common folder in the shared hierarchy of all files i need to change I also can use the standard version of the app Beyond Compare.Ĭ:\Users\joe\Desktop\Parentfolder\child folder\grandchildfolder#NA#1329001.00#1329001.00\file1.pdfĬ:\Users\joe\Desktop\Parentfolder\child folder\grandchildfolder#NA#1329001.00#1329001.00\company xyz.pdf I cannot use a third party application I can only use command prompt or powershell or whatever comes with Windows 2010. I need the new name to be a specific unique name. I need to batch or mass rename 76k+ file names in multiple folders and subfolders in a directory. forfiles /M *.jpg /C "cmd /c rename - pic.jpg\"" ![]() So that forfiles does not misinterpret this doublequotes, you need to escape them with ‘\’įor example to add ” – pic.jpg” to each of the jpg files, the command would be as below. If the new name you want to assign to the files has white space within it, it can be done by adding double quotes around the file name. forfiles /S /M *.jpg /C "cmd /c rename " Handling names with white spaces Similarly, we can add a number to a file name. Here we try to add ‘photo’ to every jpg file in the current folder and subfolders. If you want to add any prefix to file names, it can be done as in the below example. forfiles /S /M *.ext /C "cmd /c rename you want a batch file script, it can be downloaded from the below link:īatch file script for renaming file extensions in bulk Add prefix to file names in batch The below command would remove extension for the specified file types. forfiles /S /M *.ext1 /C "cmd /c rename example, if you want to rename all xml files to txt files, the command would be as below forfiles /S /M *.xml /C "cmd /c rename Remove file extensions in batch If you want to rename files from one extension to another, recursively in all sub folders, then you can use the below command. ![]()
