StrikedOut Share Posted January 27 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 post Share on other sites
Jason S. Global Moderator Share Posted January 27 i used to use a program that does this.... i cant remember the name of it right now, but there are applications out there that'll do this for you. Link to post Share on other sites
indospot Senior Editor Share Posted January 27 Have you tried the new PowerToys? I believe PowerRename might be close to what you're looking for. https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys PowerRename is described more specifically here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/powerrename 1 Share Link to post Share on other sites

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. Link to post Share on other sites
