Renaming: Search & Replace

Replacing Text in Filenames 

Can also be used to Remove Text from Filenames

simply don't supply any replacement text

Worry-free Confirmations

After you have told FileBoss how you want the files renamed you can approve (and change individually) each file or tell FileBoss at any time to rename all the remaining files automatically.

The Powerful Search & Replace

(For simple text replacement see Simple Text Replacement.)

First select the files you want to rename

(Click here to find out more about FileBoss's advanced selection methods.)You can use wildcards (* and ? ) and even RegX expressions to search for text.

Open the Rename dialog and display the Search & Replace panel

•	or click the Rename Selected Files button:

Set the Options

Click the OK button

Confirm each file or tell FileBoss to do them all

Each selected file will be displayed with the old name and the recommended new name. You can then rename the file, change the new name, skip that file or tell FileBoss to go ahead and rename all remaining files according to pattern you have specified.

Important Note

When you click the OK button FileBoss will apply the changes indicated in the active panel only. For example if the Change to 8.3 Name panel is active then FileBoss will ignore the settings in  the other panels.

Tip: You can preview how FileBoss will change the names by looking at the sample name at the bottom. It will be modified according to your choices.
