Batch Rename Special-Saving Command

[TestMeister]

I would like to be able to select one or more files, and by selecting a user-defined function, have characters added as a prefix:

ThisIsATest.txt >>> P-ThisIsATest.txt

The Rename Special function will do this but I don't see a way to save a given command so it will persist in the context menu.

I thought perhaps a short script assigned to a UDF button; can anyone assist with the script command?

Many thanks!

Scripting commands needed:
get
rename
and a foreach loop...

Look in the scripts exchange part of the forum, Stefan, PeterH, myself and a few others have posted dozen of script (snippets), that use these commands for comparable issues.

If you have an working rename command, you can add it as User-defined Command (UDC) too.
And then you can add even an keyboard shortcut.

Using the Rename Special->RegExp Rename
Code is: ^(.*)$ > PreFix-$1

This is what I use and it works on all the selected items.

FYI: you can shorten that to just:

Code: Select all
