Navigate to the file path to rename example: cd c:\PATH\TO\FILES Press the Windows key to open the Start menu, search for PowerShell, and click the top result to open the app. To rename multiple files in bulk when the name structure is not important, use these steps: Once you complete the steps, the command will change the file’s name to what you specified. C -c-style Allow C-style extended characters (\xFF\0\t\n\r\\ etc.Repeat the above steps to continue renaming other files. B -binary Also search (and replace) in binary files (CAUTION) f -filename Find (and replace) filename instead of contents w -word Match whole word (uses C syntax, like grep) n -line-number Print line number before each line (1-based) v -invert Print lines NOT containing the find string i -ignore-case Case insensitive text comparison c -count Only show filenames, match counts and totals r -recursive Process sub-folders recursively

q -quiet Suppress output to stdio / stderr h -help Show this help message (ignores other options) "Find And Replace Text" FART WORKS GREAT! can rename words in txt files too. With a little research and simple coding, these things can be done much mroe efficiently and quickly.įunny name and command line tool very powerful, very fast and extremely easy to use. As others have mentioned, the GUI is atrocious and not very intuitive. I personally don't care for the "Bulk Rename" app.

Note that in my case, I had 2 delimiters (a dash and a dot). The tokens are the "parts" of the filename, the delims are the separators. Note that when doing it this way, ALL parts of the filename are considered, including the extension of ".csv". To do this en-masse, I used the following code. I wanted the file date portion to be in y/m/d order, with the "name" part at the end so it would read like this: -name.csv In my case, I started out with a list of files named like so: name-01-02-2012.csv Like zdan, I output the list to a TXT file, then used tokens and delims to rename the files accordingly. It took some tinkering for my particular case, but a little research solved it. Like above, I did this by command line (using "cmd.exe" in Windows).
