WOW! This is absolutely awesome. I sure wish this was available about a year ago. I manually renamed hundreds of files to make everything uniform. I will be making use of this hack. Thank you so much for your videos!

I needed this 5 years ago! where were you? We had to check a list in excel vs a folder to check if either was complete and change the names of the old files to the new format. about 6000 files. i feel so... so... i dont wanna talk about it. (like and add to playlist "excel to never forget")

@scottlockhart7168 2 ай бұрын

Great video. What would the command be if you would like to search for two types of files types at once? For example: *.pdf and *.txt

Would also show us how to use the Command Prompt to rename folders and also subfolders as well?

@trumpexcel 6 ай бұрын

You can rename the subfolders the same way you would rename a file. But for files within sub folders, you'll have to get into with each subfolder and then run the command

If I chose the same new name will it automatically add number at the end of the name?

It would skip renaming that file

what if we use power automate instead?

@trumpexcel 6 ай бұрын

That would work too.. this is more of a quick and dirty trick if you want to do it one time. With Power Automate, you can make it a repeatable process.

Dear Sumit Ji Pl help me for a situation. I have got thousands of excel and word files spread across many folders and subfolders. My object is to open each Word file in old Microsoft Word (very much old version 97 or so), replace a particular font with another, save and close the file. Now I have already prepared a Macro for font replacement in old Wordbasic language. I need your suggestion how to copy all Old Microsoft Word files and paste them in a separate folder. Can method in this video somehow help. I have tried to identify them with the help of File Properties in VBA but many files get left out. I also tried .doc extension but failed because many Word files are created in later versions like 2007 having .doc extension and I can't open those files in later versions because that font is only compatible in old Microsoft Word (97 or so). Pl help.

Great tip, love it, really useful. Previously, I've done that sort of renaming using Excel to create the command, but I've always then created a .BAT file. This is much quicker and easier! (And I didn't know you could type "CMD" in the Explorer address bar!). Nice one, thank you.

This was very useful, thank you. Windows default method (1), (2) when selecting multiple files with F2 is a let down and this is much more useful, i have a photo folder with hundred of images and this solves the issue right away. much appreciated.
