Also change $Path to match the path to your folder structure.Rename lots of files simultaneously with Renamer. So the new name for folder A1 would go first, new name for A2 second, etc. Just edit $NewNames and put the new names of your folders in there. Here's a sample script that should do the trick. Let me know if i am still unclear, still need my caffine. I prefer a script just cause it is easier to perform unattended (after extensive testing)

each A# has a new name designated to it that needs to be applied.Īll folders named A1 will be renamed to 'ProjectCommunications'Īll folders named A2 will be named to 'VendorRFIsĪnd so on. These folders exist in all projects in a sub folder. Sorry for lack of clarity, have not had my caffine this AMīasically i have a set of sub folders in all our projects that need to be renamed to sensible names instead of what they are currenttly.įolder named 'A1' will be renamed to 'New Folder Name that makes sense)Īll current folders are A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 A10 A11 A12 A13 and A14. If I could run a script after hours to process the entire structure over night that would be ideal. Originally they wanted this done manually but it would take 2 - 3 days to rename all these folders. I figure there must be a way to create a VBS script to essentially FIND/REPLACE folder names.Īll folder names are standard, so we need to be able to locate folder a b and c and rename to folder 1 2 and 3 Has anyone ever done this? If so does anyone have any example scripts (VBS) that could perform this.īasically in our project storage we have a great deal of sub folders and management wish to have the names changed. Issue: Thousands of folders require renamingĬhallenge: Create a script to automate this process
