Bulk Rename Utility

Hello,

I have used this RegEx in the GUI version of BRU but I am having issues getting it to work via command-line. Clearly, I must be doing something wrong with my syntax. Any help would be much appreciated

BRC64.exe /DIR:"C:\Users\Shawn\Desktop\Combine PDF\Process" /NOFOLDERS /REGEXP:(.*TITLE 2.*):01 - \1 /EXECUTE

Just a brief description of what I am trying to do. I am just looking for a keyword in the file name and if it finds a match it adds 01 - to the front.

Thanks.

I think you're just missing quotes.

If it finds "12", prefix what is found by "01 - ".

Code: Select all: brc32exe /NOFOLDERS /REGEXP:"(.*12.*)":"01 - \1"

Code: Select all: Filename TB113001.TXT requires no changes Filename TB1202 would be renamed to 01 - TB1202 Filename TB1203 would be renamed to 01 - TB1203 Filename TB1204 would be renamed to 01 - TB1204 Filename TB1205 would be renamed to 01 - TB1205 Filename TB1206 would be renamed to 01 - TB1206 Filename TB1207 would be renamed to 01 - TB1207 Filename TB1208 would be renamed to 01 - TB1208 Filename TB1209 would be renamed to 01 - TB1209 Filename TB1210 would be renamed to 01 - TB1210 Filename TB1211 would be renamed to 01 - TB1211 Filename TB1212 would be renamed to 01 - TB1212 Filename TB1213 would be renamed to 01 - TB1213 Filename TB1214 would be renamed to 01 - TB1214 Filename TB1215 would be renamed to 01 - TB1215 Filename tb9001 requires no changes Filename tb9012 would be renamed to 01 - tb9012 Filename tb9101 requires no changes Filename tb9112 would be renamed to 01 - tb9112 Filename tb9312 would be renamed to 01 - tb9312 Filename tb9412 would be renamed to 01 - tb9412 Filename tb9512 would be renamed to 01 - tb9512 Filename tb9601 requires no changes Filename tb9612 would be renamed to 01 - tb9612 Filename tb9701 requires no changes Filename tb9712 would be renamed to 01 - tb9712 Filename tb9801 requires no changes Filename tb9811 requires no changes Filename tb9812 would be renamed to 01 - tb9812 Filename TB9901 requires no changes Filename xxx requires no changes

And the result:

Code: Select all: 01 - TB1202 01 - TB1203 01 - TB1204 01 - TB1205 01 - TB1206 01 - TB1207 01 - TB1208 01 - TB1209 01 - TB1210 01 - TB1211 01 - TB1212 01 - TB1213 01 - TB1214 01 - TB1215 01 - tb9012 01 - tb9112 01 - tb9312 01 - tb9412 01 - tb9512 01 - tb9612 01 - tb9712 01 - tb9812 TB113001.TXT tb9001 tb9101 tb9601 tb9701 tb9801 tb9811 TB9901 xxx
