Does anyone know any tools to rename a list of filenames?
for example,
The format for filename is [project name] + [project number] + [project
version]

Financal - 158 - r
Financal - 158 - x
Financal - 158 - s
....

I would like to rename those filenames into
Financal - 600 - r
Financal - 600 - x
Financal - 600 - s
....

Does anyone know any tools to do that?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Eric

In your particular case, you should be able to just do:

ren "Financial - 158 - ?" "Financial - 600 - ?"

(this wouldn't work if 158 wasn't the same # of chars as 600)

For more complicated renames, you could try BRU (Bulk Rename Utility),
which is available (for free) at:

http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk

It takes a bit of learning to get familiar with all that it can do, but
it can do very complicated renames.

I use this:

Or do in DOS (if you've still got it), and you won't need ANY utility.

Look at the utility. It's freakin' amazing.
