I can't seem to get the rename a group of files to work properly.
I highlight 116 files
I want to rename part of the files name from
myfile010106.cvs to newfile010106.csv
for all 116 files that have 116 different dates other than 010106.
I would like to say
rename myfile* to newfile*
for all 116 highlighted files but I can't seem to do that
I can't find a way to do this.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help

Re: Rename files problem
Or, in case you like to play around with RegExp it can be done as well - probably not quite as simple for this task.admin wrote:Context menu > Rename Special > Search and Replace...
