Batch File Renaming?

shawnpatrickjoyce

Let's say I downloaded forty pictures of....the green grass growing outside brad's house. I want to rename them all "Brad's Grass XX.jpg" where X= the number in the series of pictures (starting 01). Is there a way to rename all forty pictures at once or do I have to manually rename them myself??

There is a lovely app for this. It's called 'A Better Finder Rename' (sic!). Search for it on Versiontracker.



You can do what you say, and a whole realm of other things. It does cost something, but if you don't pay, you can still use it (but only for 9 files at a time).

A quick shell

:

#

for name

do

mv "$name" "Brad's Grass "`ls -1 "Brad's Grass *" | wc -l`".jpg"

done
