Rename from a name list

Postby blacksub » Tue Dec 04, 2007 12:48 pm

Nice software !

I have files named by numbers, and a list of their text name. Is it possible to rename the files from this list of file names?

if it is able to save all file name in a CSV file, as suggested, it would be cool to rename files by the new names in a CSV file, a plaint text file, or even the clipboard.

I found a commercial software can do this job (Rename From List, or so), not good enough though. Hope BRU has this function.

Hi,

Why not use the "rename pairs" facility? That will do what you need.

Just set up pairs in a text file and use the pipe symbol as a delimiter, e.g.

1.txt|One.txt
2.txt|Newname.txt
3.txt|Hello.txt
4.txt|Holiday2007.txt

etc, and then import the pairs. Then highlight all your files (Ctrl+A) - all the files with matching names will show the new name.
