Mass-rename files recursively


/ Published in: Windows PowerShell
Save to your folder(s)

How to use:

1. In Powershell, change dir to the working directory of files in folders to rename.
2. Replace FILEXT, FROM, and TO parameters.
* FILEXT = file extension
* FROM = string to replace
* TO = string to replace with
3. Execute the command.


What this will do:

1. Goes into a folder.
2. Finds files with the FILEXT extension.
3. Finds the FROM substring of the found files.
4. Replaces the substring with the TO string.
5. Goes back to the current/parent directory.
6. Redo these steps until all folders are entered.
