Rename all files to a set list of names?

Not sure if the utility can do this. I have used it for awhile for various things but what I have is a set of filenames that are random, that I want to name all files to those names no matter what the current file names are.

For instance if I have:

file1.ext
thisfile2.ext
anotherfile3.ext

and I have set names like:

randomname1.ext
thisoneisrandom2.ext
alsorandom3.ext

I want to be able to rename the top files to bottom (no matter what the top files are)

Current I just use bulk renamer to name all my files to file1.ext, file2.ext and then I use a normal batch file to rename them..but this is tedious.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe read the help about "Renaming From A Text File" and see if that works for you.


file1.ext|randomname1.ext
thisfile2.ext|thisoneisrandom2.ext
anotherfile3.ext|alsorandom3.ext




here are a few example > http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2555&p=6749
