Guys its not rename its ren. Write ren instead of rename in excel. It should be like ren "previous_name" "new_name" Tip: don't forget to add quotation marks "" Thank me later
If it doesnt work, its because theres spaces in your file name, instead of putting just a space, you need to put quotations as well. Rename "(file name).ext" "(file rename).ext"
Thansk a lot guys, I did like this exemple above and worked perfectly. I was needed to random rename my files, so I used chat gpt to create random names to the files and then I follow the tutorial. Thanks a lot guys, saved me so much time.
This is great I am a total NOOB and after watching this I found the bravery to enter with the CMD prompt for the first time in my 49 year life. I even figured out that to change a file name with a space in it, you can just modify the _cmd.cmd document and put quotes around any entire file name that contains space. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much you really helped me. But.. in a different way :D I was using your tutorial because it was easier for me. So I have done everything from a to z but it didn't work. But I changed only last step from your tutorial and I have added quotes (") to the files name. And that quote idea was from a different tutorial, more difficult one : D But when I added quotes it worked like magic. Thank you so much ❤️ P.s.Old name and new name both were in quotes. Also I used ren command instead of a rename
use (") when your file has space ( ) or when you want to rename your file with space( ) *mostly I use underscore(_) for the space ( )* but if your file don't have space ( ) don't want to change with space ( ) so no need to add quotes (")
This video is great However I’m facing a problem, if I rename the file using the above method Excel says it’s corrupt and does not let me open Any solution to tha
Thank you broo You made me remind of the OG tech youtubers that used to upload these type of videos during 2015-2018. People like you should exist who do not aim for watchtime but intend on helping people so that our time doesn't get wasted. Much appreciation bro. PS : I had issues with my naming of my burst photographs, not going much deep, you solved it 👍👍
the result will be like tharun.1001 (1).jpg tharun.1001 (2).jpg tharun.1001 (3).jpg tharun.1001 (4).jpg yes it works and softwares can be able to read its as image seq. and you can make use of it, if its your personal work. But you can't rely on the same if you are incorporating this in the production environment.

Guys its not rename its ren. Write ren instead of rename in excel.
It should be like

Happy to hear that dude. Keep learning.
VERY helpful! Thank you SOO much! The '_' is important, just in case this is helpful for others if they try double clicking the "_cmd.cmd" file
To make it easier select all the files right click and go to rename option and type 01 and enter the button BOOM that's it
Thank you Brother! It works and really helped me.
what a legend, u saved a lot of hours
Bro what just select all file by pressing ctrl+a and then rename one file and it will rename all other files in sequence.
the result will be like
tharun.1001 (1).jpg
tharun.1001 (2).jpg
tharun.1001 (3).jpg

yes it works and softwares can be able to read its as image seq.

wow...can't believe i made it! wat a great tutorial, thank you so much!
Thanks for your comment dude. Keep learning
Thank you Tharun, this is really helpful! Do you know if there is a way to do something similar on a Mac?
That worked perfectly. Thanks man!
Is it possible to do this with Google sheets? I don't own excel...
Title says no CMD but this is literally a command line. Still very useful and easy to do
You don't want to open cmd, but it only executes in cmd. And also every windows system has cmd right, thats y i mentioned.
Worked like a charm.
Thanks a bunch.
If it doesnt work, its because theres spaces in your file name, instead of putting just a space, you need to put quotations as well.
Rename "(file name).ext" "(file rename).ext"
thanks
