#Mass rename files recursivly full#
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
