StrikedOut Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hi. I may need to rename many files to unique names after a file dump. Is there a way I can do this if I have a CSV file with the old and new file names using a script? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use a .bat file. rename "oldfile" "newfile" You will need to include the full path to the files if you run the .bat file outside the folder the files are in.
