Search and replace folder names

Postby dlpas » Tue Oct 13, 2015 4:27 am

Pretty sure this is a feature that doesn't exist in any file rename utility but just in case it is possible.

I have an auto export of emails using a coded job number in the form of mycompany-JN1234
the number is enforced on all emails being sent and when encountered the auto email export will save emails into a folder labeled 1234

I need to search a different folder where jobs are saved with the following structure:

client A
-1234 blah blah blah
-1237 blah blah meow
client B
-5678 blah blah woof
-3459 blah blah gg sir

So when it finds the matching 1234 it will rename the folder from 1234 to 1234 blah blah blah

Have you tried:

Selection(12):
[x]Folders
[_]Files
[X]Subfolders

Replace(3):
Replace:1234
With:1234 blah blah blah

?





Please wait a few seconds then submit. Thank you.
