How to do a mass rename?

Question

I need to rename files names like this

transform.php?dappName=Test&transformer=YAML&v_id=XXXXX

to just this

XXXXX.t         


        

Answer 1

Ok, you need to be able to run a windows binary for this.

But if you can run Total Commander, do this:

1. Select all files with *, and hit ctrl-M

2. In the Search field, paste "transform.php?dappName=Test&transformer=YAML&v_id="

   (Leave Replace empty)

3. Press Start

It doesn't get much simpler than that. You can also rename using regular expressions via this dialog, and you see a realtime preview of how your files are going to be renamed.
