RenameAllFiles

Renames multiple files in a directory by replacing a specified search string with a replace string in the file names.

Usage

To use the utility, run the following command:

RenameAllFiles.exe searchString replaceString [CONFIRM]

Parameters

• searchString: The string you want to search for in the file names.
• replaceString: The string you want to replace the searchString with in the file names.
• CONFIRM (optional): If you want to execute the renaming process, add this parameter. Without it, the utility will only display the expected changes without actually renaming the files.

Example

If you want to replace the word "old" with "new" in the file names in the current directory, run the following command:

RenameAllFiles.exe old NEW

This will display the expected changes in the file names. For example:

Old file.txt -> NEW file.txt
Another old file.older -> Another NEW file.NEWer

If you are satisfied with the changes and want to proceed with renaming the files, add the CONFIRM parameter:

RenameAllFiles.exe old new CONFIRM

This will rename the files as specified.

Notes

• Search is case-insensitive, so it will match both upper and lower case occurrences of the search string.
• It processes only files in the current directory, not in subdirectories.
