file rename utility needed asap. Please!

Hi Guys!


I am running Windows 2000 and have to rename a gazillion TIF documents. I have seen a utility that can do all documents in a few short steps. For the most part each file will have the same name except the number on the end.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Tell ya what, I wrote a script that does just that, you do need to be savvy with Regular Expressions to use it but I could tell you what to type if you want to use it.

e.g.
Quote:
Example: RenamePlus.wsf "D:\My Music" /searchfor:"(- )(\d)( -.*\.[Mm][Pp]3$)" /changeto:"$010$02$03" /recurse
This regular expression searches the folder tree from D:\My Music for mp3 files with a single digit track number and changes them to double digits: e.g.
D:\My Music\Ash\1977\Ash - 1977 - 3 - Girl From Mars.mp3
becomes
D:\My Music\Ash\1977\Ash - 1977 - 03 - Girl From Mars.mp3

Download it from here
