For those who might need it, don’t forget to put the file type at the end of the new file name (e.g. .pdf, .jpg, etc). Took me 15 mins to realize my mistake lmao
I just have to echo all the other comments here. You saved me so much time manually renaming hundreds of files. So glad I found your video that is simple, clear and easy to follow. The template was very handy as well. Thank you so much!
One more BIG thank you for this video. I've been looking for a long time for an answer to this issue. This is the perfect solution for me, and I'm grateful that you shared.
I almost downloaded applications for bulk-renaming file, yet I still believe that Command Prompt can do that, but I don't know how. Now I know. Big thanks!
Brilliant! This was so quick and easy. For a complete novice, I was able to follow this with ease. The excel attachment with formula was the game changer! Thanks! I've got you saved!
Takes me back to my early PC days....DOS 3.1 and a little later, Windows 3.12. Those were the days of doing command prompt stuff (even the date/time stamp on files), and when Norton really was a great Utilities package! And don't forget all of the PC Mag utilities!
Thank you so much!! All the files i was trying to renamke had an $ in their name, and i wanted to remove it, but any kind of multiple renaming with code was getting wrong because they are folders. Your method was the only one that worked just fine! I would give you 100 likes if i could, but i cant just press it once
Do I need to leave the “.xlsx” or will it re add them once the command runs with the correct file type? Or do I even need the “.xlsx” in the file name, I’m find with removing them if so. Thank you in advance!
Hello, it doesn't work for me. I followed each exact instruction but when I place the renamed file names and close, nothing happens. How can I fix this?
Great video, however been looking for a way to replace " _ with a space " in a list of 15,000 PDF files. Some are duplicates so in that case I need it to make the duplicate file place a "RE: 1 etc after file name " after any duplicates so I can verify it is truly a duplicate. Be nice if it could stop at each file that has replaced the _ with a space and ask if it should replace file or add the 1 to the end of the file name. Not sure if I am overthinking things but can't seem to find a solution in my own head or on here. Thanks Great Excel videos have learned a lot, you have a talent of explaining things so clearly even a bone head like me can follow along. Tony
this works well with the 8 files as you demonstrated, but when I try to do 100+ it can't find the files anymore :( I extended the cells to the number of lines I needed, but I can't seem to figure it out. This would help me so much with hundreds of files needing to be renamed.
I'm getting access denied in cmd at the final step..means after pasting the new names at cmd and running in I'm getting access denied and the names are not changing please help me

thank you so much
is there a way how to rename folders to dates? it keeps changing my folders to numbers like this 45313 instead of date
Can I double like this?
the files turn to unknown files that windows could not open , do you know why ?
this works well with the 8 files as you demonstrated, but when I try to do 100+ it can't find the files anymore :( I extended the cells to the number of lines I needed, but I can't seem to figure it out. This would help me so much with hundreds of files needing to be renamed.
how do extend ren?
We can also get the files names by Select all files in a folder and then right click and copy as path
It did change the name of the files but it also changed the files extension, they are no longer excel files. Do you have an idea why ?
You need to add extension behind the names, example: abc.xls or abc.jpg
I'm getting access denied in cmd at the final step..means after pasting the new names at cmd and running in I'm getting access denied and the names are not changing please help me
