BATCH RENAME

[architech]

I have (what i believe) something simple....

How do you batch rename files....

I have 200 (*.jpg)s and wish to add one word infront of the filenames.

how do you do this.....?

I thought it would be as easy as....


rename *.* rich*.*

But that replaces the 1st four characters of the filename....  :-?
I want to add the word rich in addition to the filenames....

Thank you in advance,
R

Using wildcards with rename can really muck up a directory. This snippet will simply list the changes to be made. Once you're satisfied, change echo to ren

Code: [Select]

for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%i in ('dir /b *.jpg') do (
      echo "%%i" "rich%%i"
      )

Good luck.  8-)
