I have some file such as AAA_a001.jpg
, BBB_a002.jpg
, CCC_a003.jpg
in Windows 7
and I'm trying to use batch to rename these file to a001_AAA.jpg
, a002_BBB.jpg
, a003_CCC.jpg
.
Just to swap the content between _
.
I have been searching for a while, but still don't know how to do this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
@echo off
pushd "pathToYourFolder" || exit /b
for /f "eol=: delims=" %%F in ('dir /b /a-d *_*.jpg') do (
for /f "tokens=1* eol=_ delims=_" %%A in ("%%~nF") do ren "%%F" "%%~nB_%%A%%~xF"
)
popd
Note: The name is split at the first occurrence of _
. If a file is named "part1_part2_part3.jpg", then it will be renamed to "part2_part3_part1.jpg"
Use REN
Command
Ren
is for rename
ren ( where the file is located ) ( the new name )
example
ren C:\Users\&username%\Desktop\aaa.txt bbb.txt
it will change aaa.txt to bbb.txt
Your code will be :
ren (file located)AAA_a001.jpg a001.AAA.jpg
ren (file located)BBB_a002.jpg a002.BBB.jpg
ren (file located)CCC_a003.jpg a003.CCC.jpg
and so on
IT WILL NOT WORK IF THERE IS SPACES!
Hope it helps :D
as Itsproinc said, the REN
command works!
but if your file path/name has spaces, use quotes " "
example:
ren C:\Users\&username%\Desktop\my file.txt not my file.txt
add " "
ren "C:\Users\&username%\Desktop\my file.txt" "not my file.txt"
hope it helps
I am assuming you know the length of the part before the _
and after the underscore, as well as the extension. If you don't it might be more complex than a simple substring.
cd C:\path\to\the\files
for /f %%a IN ('dir /b *.jpg') do (
set p=%a:~0,3%
set q=%a:~4,4%
set b=%p_%q.jpg
ren %a %b
)
I just came up with this script, and I did not test it. Check out this and that for more info.
IF you want to assume you don't know the positions of the _
and the lengths and the extension, I think you could do something with for loops to check the index of the _
, then the last index of the .
, wrap it in a goto
thing and make it work. If you're willing to go through that trouble, I'd suggest you use WindowsPowerShell (or Cygwin) at least (for your own sake) or install a more advanced scripting language (think Python/Perl) you'll get more support either way.
