Can I rename the contents of a folder based on other folder

[HomieSlice]

Is it possible in BRU to copy the names of files in one folder to the names of files inside another folder.

Not straight forward, but you could use the Rename Pairs feature.
And assuming you're able to get a directory listing as you want such that expected pairs end up related correctly between the two directories.

DIR1:
1
2
3

DIR2
a
b
c

Something like...

DIR /B DIR1 > dir1.txt
DIR /B DIR2 > dir2.txt

(now you need a simple way to combine the two... hmm... not so simple ?)

PR dir1.txt dir2.txt -t -m "-s|" > dir_pairs.txt
- that gives you something like this:
1|a
2|b
3|c

Which you then import dir_pairs.txt into BRU.

PR is the (UNIX) "paginate" command.
-m, says to merge the two files
-s, says to use the pipe (|) as the separator

wow. that is a way above my pay grade - and what i would ever expect BRU to do! even though it does a lot of amazing stuff, albeit a few missing gaps.

(now i have to look up 'Rename Pairs')

just the other day, i actually found the Manual/info that tels me what all those tick boxes ion Repace do. wish i had known earlier.
