batch rename files with same prefix

[scottchu]

Some days ago, I found this convenient trick under Vista:

To rename:

good_stuff_01.jpg
good_stuff_02.jpg
good_stuff_03.jpg

as:

good stuff 01.jpg
good stuff 02.jpg
good stuff 03.jpg

you can open DOS window & go to the directory with those source files & type in:

rename good_stuff_*.jpg "good stuff *.jpg"

This is very useful for me.

However, I don't know how to do it under normal Windows GUI mode.

Hi,

There is no really easy way of doing this under normal GUI in explorer.exe. If all you ever want to do is remove the underscores(_) and replace them with spaces( ), then you could write a program or batch script, and add it to right click. All you would need when writing a program is IO and string manipulation, or in a batch script, automated IO and string manipulation.

I really don't want to step into 'writing batch program to do this". I kept using the DOS-way for several weeks until I found this covenient small tool: 14aren, it's a green version & it doesn't have complicated gui & steps as many famous renamer tools. I really thank to the author a lot lot lot lot.....
