Renaming files

Mindflare · 11-21-2001, 03:47 AM

I'm wondering if there's a way to rename a bunch of files in the same way at once in Windows (or any windows program). I want to take all of the spaces in a bunch of files and replace them with underscores (_).

Here are a few programs:

I hope I could be of any help.

Hey, that's a pretty cool program

It's a shame I didn't have I a few weeks back when I needed to rename in the order of several thousand files like that, I ended up doing it by hand

Hehe, same happened to me.

I was creating picture pages for FFI and noticed around 200 pictures had a space, which I didn't like. I forgot to download a renaming program and thus removed the space by hand.

It took me 20 minutes.

Thanks! It worked nicely.

This will come in handy a lot.

Hey Squally, clean out your PM folder!

I would PM you that message, except you wouldn't get it

Heh, sorry, I totally forgot about that.

*cleans the folder* 0 messages in all folders.
