Multiple file rename is only available in Ant Commander Pro file manager
- In a table with file, choose File -> Rename multiple files
- Select the files you want to rename
- If not files are selected, all listed files will be used
- Just perform a find / replace for what you want to change in the files names
- Note that file extension is not including in the rename, use File -> Rename extension for it
You can use regular expression with the Reg Exp button to perform for advanced rename.
| Rename | Find | Replace | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prefix files | ^ | prefix- | image001.jpg -> prefix-image001.jpg |
| Suffix files | $ | -suffix | image001.jpg -> image001-suffix.jpg |
| Groups | ([a-zA-Z]+)(\d+) | $1-$2 | image001.jpg -> image-001.jpg |
