Batch renaming

Post by wendell »

Can I batch rename multiple files with names like "200409 Pict 23 bird.JPG", "200409 Pict 24 bird.JPG", "200409 Pict 25 bird.JPG", etc. and delete "09" and change the word "bird" to "pelican" while still retaining the numbers "Pict 23", "Pict 24", and "Pict 25"? That is, with batch rename can I retain distictive interior numbers while changing other aspects of file names?
Thanks,
Wendell

Should work with this expression: "2004 Pict ## pelican". Then for your example set starting number=23 and stepsize=1, and you should be ready to go.

This works if your files are all successively numbered (23,24,25,26,...)
