Is there any tool or software for XPpro that would make it possible to 'bulk
change' one word (or phrase) in name of several folders in a parent folder?
You could try this:
- Put the following lines into c:\Windows\FolderRename.bat:
@echo off
for /F "tokens=*" %%* in ('dir /ad /b') do call :Sub %%*
goto :eof
:Sub
set name=%*
echo ren "%* "%name:ABC=XYZ%"
- Click Start / Run
- Type cmd {OK}
- Navigate to the parent folder whose subfolders you wish to rename.
- Type FolderRename {Enter}
In its current form the batch file will rename folders that contain
the string "ABC" to a name that contains the string "XYZ" instead.
It won't actually do the rename until you remove the word "echo"
in the last line of the batch file.
