| :: Batch Script: FileRenamer.bat | |
| :: | |
| :: Description: | |
| :: This batch script renames files in a specified directory based on a user-defined template. | |
| :: It allows customization of the renaming process by providing options for directory, | |
| :: template, file pattern, delimiter, and starting index. | |
| :: | |
| :: Usage: | |
| :: FileRenamer.bat [-d <directory>] [-t <template>] [-p <pattern>] [-del <delimiter>] [-i <index>] | |
| :: | |
| :: Options: | |
| :: -d <directory> Specify the target directory. Default is the current directory. | |
| :: -t <template> Specify the filename template. Default is "{i}{d}{name}.{ext}". | |
| :: -p <pattern> Specify the file matching pattern using wildcards. Default is "*". | |
| :: -del <delimiter> Specify the delimiter used in the new filenames. Default is a space. | |
| :: -i <index> Specify the starting index for renaming files. Default is 1. | |
| :: | |
| :: Example: | |
| :: FileRenamer.bat -d "C:\MyFiles" -t "{name}_{i}.{ext}" -p "*.txt" -del "_" -i 100 | |
| :: | |
| :: Script Logic: | |
| :: 1. Parses command line arguments to customize the renaming process. | |
| :: 2. Loops through files matching the specified pattern in the specified directory. | |
| :: 3. Generates new filenames using the specified template and updates file names accordingly. | |
| :: | |
| :: Note: | |
| :: Ensure to test the script on a small set of files before bulk renaming to avoid unintentional changes. | |
