Find and Replace Multiple File Names Quickly! No Special Software Needed

This will show you how to find and replace file names quickly without requiring any special software. You will be able to batch rename file names using the built-in Windows Powershell command. It sounds complicated, but I promise you it is not.

This is the code that is used for the PowerShell command in the video. Just edit it to fit your needs.

You, sir are a legend. I would have never figured this out on my own and I pretty sure you just saved me HOURS of work.

Short, sweet and to the point! I needed to rename hundreds of staff photos for my workplace to replace a space with an underscore and this worked like a charm. Thank you so very much for posting this!

This video has saved my life and lots of hours I could have wasted.
God bless and reward you for sharing this. You earned a life time subscriber. I love

Cannot thank you I had scanned over 2, 000 photos and needed to change just part of the filename in several different folders. It's been decades since I've had to think about computers in terms of the DOS command line. I don't know if I ever would have figured out the proper syntax for this command. Your clear, quick, and eminently understandable solution was a blessing indeed.

Sir, you only have 18 thumbs up as I read this, but you just saved me HOURS of work changing an accession number on hundreds if not thousands of photos. THANK YOU and God bless you for posting this.

I'm sorry I can only give you one thumbs-up. Effective and to the point. Thank you!

You just saved me from renaming over 900 files while working on a Minecraft resource pack. Thank you SO much!

Wow! No BS video, straight to the point in a VERY efficient working manner. This saved me hours of work. Hats off to you sir. Thank you VERY much!

[santherstat]

this is genuinely one of the most helpful youtube videos I've ever seen

[marion.denise]

This seems like such a simple thing that we shouldn't have to time warp back to 1996 and a DOS to accomplish but THANK YOU for doing this. I'm a photographer and since I found your video you've saved me hours and hours of file renaming.

[ErikaHadzhieva]

Well I guess it is my turn to be thankful and express just how much of a difference your video made. A minute ago I changed the file names of 2, 565 JPG files at once and this new knowledge saved me not only a great lot of time, but also helped me not let down these important clients, that I am doing work for right now.

To be fair this is not a message to our dear Mr. Web & Graphic Design because he knows just how much this tool can do, but to all of you who wanted to deal with a problem on your own - you can do it! Don't be afraid to look for solutions on the internet. Kind people who have a lot of knowledge are there to be heard and to teach us new skills. Anyway, thank you mister :))

You saved me so much time as a file naming error was made that was messing up a entire database and I was not about to rename every single one of those files manually

[BusyBibi]

Thanks so so much! This is the most straight forward option and the most straight forward, short and to the point explanation. Saved me tons of time.

[NekoDavid]

I got a task to rename a portion of 160 files today. Doing that one at a time would be torture. You saved me

[SitinprettyProductions]

Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this. I was so frustrated that my mac could easily batch rename but windows wouldn't let me. This worked perfectly! Much love :)

[xxkvcnx]

This is unbelievable ! Thank you for putting this out here, saved me HOURS of time and was so easy to follow. I appreciate you !

[ThePopularCult]

Brother, you just saved me hours of work. Thanks and God bless you

[SundayOgali]

Really helpful. Just worked for over 300 files and the video is straight to the point. Thank you so so much!

[colinwatt]

I wish I could give this video a million likes. Thank you so much. Love the style too, no messing around waiting. Thank you.
