Hello
I have about 75 folders. Each folder contains 30-40 unique .obj files. These files are named the same in each folder
ie:
1.obj, 2.obj, 3.obj,.... through 40.obj
Is it possible to create a script that will allow me to designate a unique name for each .obj file?
as an example, from here:
D:\SVD_Tests\3D_Scenes\Characters\3D_Models\Export_Tests\Folder_01
1.obj renamed to V_GBH.obj
2.obj renamed to B_GGHC.obj
3.obj renamed to M_DFV.obj
etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
Jeff

Re: Rename files... for Noob
You can use a random number.
Or, if you want every folder to have unique names, start at 0001.obj and increment to 0040.obj and the next folder starts 0041.obj
Ir do you have the names in a text file that you want to use?

if new name from foldername is suit
remove "echo" before "ren"
Code: Select all
@echo off &setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "Parent=D:\SVD_Tests\3D_Scenes\Characters\3D_Models\Export_Tests\"
for /f "delims=" %%f in ('dir /b/s "%Parent%\??.obj"') do (
for %%r in ("%%~dpf.") do echo ren "%%f" "%%~nxr__%%~nxf"
)
pause
remove "echo" before "ren"

Thanks for the replies!
Expert, I'm not certain how to apply this code? Where do I indicate the new names list?
What i'm looking for is a code that does something like this:
In this folder D:\SVD_Tests\3D_Scenes\Characters\3D_Models\Export_Tests\Folder_01
replace the name "1".obj with this " new name entered".obj
replace the name "2".obj with this " new name entered".obj
replace the name "3".obj with this " new name entered".obj
...
replace the name "40".obj with this " new name entered".obj
etc.
If possible a script whereby I indicate each old and new name
I will have to manually type the names within the code.
and then I can run the script for the remaining 74 folders (since they will all be the same naming convention).. I would only need to change the directory folder path for each one of those.
I hope this helps
Thanks again for any help on this.

Re: Rename files... for Noob
run it once. it show new names in the tails, like
if it's OK, remove "echo" and run it again
Code: Select all
ren "D:\SVD_Tests\3D_Scenes\Characters\3D_Models\Export_Tests\Folder_01\1.obj" "Folder_01__1.obj"
ren "D:\SVD_Tests\3D_Scenes\Characters\3D_Models\Export_Tests\Folder_01\2.obj" "Folder_01__2.obj"
...
ren "D:\SVD_Tests\3D_Scenes\Characters\3D_Models\Export_Tests\Folder_74\39.obj" "Folder_74__39.obj"
ren "D:\SVD_Tests\3D_Scenes\Characters\3D_Models\Export_Tests\Folder_74\40.obj" "Folder_74__40.obj"
if it's OK, remove "echo" and run it again
Re: Rename files... for Noob
This is easier in your case. Fill in the blanks in a text editor, save it as c:\a.bat and run the batch file below it.
This assumes that you want to name each file in a certain way.
It is designed to run c:\a.bat in every folder under D:\SVD_Tests\3D_Scenes\Characters\3D_Models\Export_Tests\
To run it in all the folders (untested)
