Replace Characters in Filenames
Whether you want to add sequential numbers, change case, change extensions, remove or convert spaces, add folder names or each file's time to its name FileBoss has a quick and easy routine for doing so. And whether you are renaming files just a few at a time or batch rename by the thousands the routines work exactly the same.
How to rename files by replacing text
1) Select the files you want to rename by adding text
In the following example we have selected six html file that we want to rename from xxxx to henryviii xxxx to make them consistent with the names of other plays on our system.
2) Select Actions > Rename... from the main menu
3) Select the Search & Replace tab
The display below shows all the tabs. It is important to remember that when the OK button is pressed only the settings in the current tab - in this case the Search & Replace tab - will be used to rename the files.
- Select this Search & Replace panel from the list on the left side.
- Enter the text to find and the text to replace it with.
Note that you don't have to worry about getting this exactly right as FileBoss will display a confirmation box before renaming any files and this box will show you the original name and the new name. In addition you can make changes to the new names before FileBoss renames anything.
4) Confirm the renamed files
After pressing the OK button in the above step, FileBoss will find the first file to be renamed and display a confirmation dialog similar to the one below.
You can continue to rename or skip each file individually or at any time you can Rename All the rest of the files or Skip Rest thus ending the renaming.
Note that you can edit the new name anyway you like and then press the Rename button giving you total control over how the file is named.
5) See the results
When FileBoss has finished renaming the files the new names will appear immediately in the Contents window.
