Is there a set of patterns I can follow to create a UDC to rename a batch of files, or any criteria will do ?

The rename UDCs all act the same as their corresponding items under File > Rename Special.
You can just follow the examples given for them...
Code: Select all
::help('idh_menfile.htm#idh_menfilespecrename');

There is no pattern to add
-files to folders within the UDC Batch rename. The pattern I have set for files is good, all I need is to append
-files onto the folders which are included in the batch rename. Unless I'm over looking something ?

UDC Batch Rename works on all selected list items with no regard to if they are files or folders.

I know but I need it to prefix -files for only the folders, arghh.

Then only select the folders.
