Need to bulk change subfolder name

Postby harish88 » Tue Dec 02, 2025 12:27 am

Hello - I just downloaded the Utility. I have file folders that z:\<Band<space>Year>. I would like to change it to z:\<Year>space<Band>. How do I do this? The home page is a bit intimidating. Thank you!

Will depend on how your folder names are named.

Could be as simple as this:
.

1:Regex -> Simple
%1 is everything up to the first space
%2 is everything after the first space
& you simply flip them around

12:Filters - Folders
your source path would be, Z:\

Note that as written (displayed in the shot), the last item, "Record Drawings" is being incorrectly renamed (based on what you've described, 'YYYY<sp>Jethro Tull Thick As A Brick'.

But if all of your folders are named as I've described:
YYYY<sp>Jethro Tull Thick As A Brick
YYYY<sp>Tangerine Dream
YYYY<sp>,Boris Kova? & LaDaABa Orchestra

you should be OK.
(But verify first ;-).)
