Einige praktische Beispiele
Tausche einen Buchstaben an der ersten und dritten Stelle vor der Dateierweiterung (fügt einen zweiten und dritten Buchstaben, wenn es noch keinen gibt)
ren * A?Z*
1 -> AZ
12 -> A2Z
1.txt -> AZ.txt
12.txt -> A2Z.txt
123 -> A2Z
123.txt -> A2Z.txt
1234 -> A2Z4
1234.txt -> A2Z4.txt
Ändere die Dateierweiterung jeder Datei
ren * *.txt
a -> a.txt
b.dat -> b.txt
c.x.y -> c.x.txt
Füge jeder Datei eine Erweiterung zu
ren * *?.bak
a -> a.bak
b.dat -> b.dat.bak
c.x.y -> c.x.y.bak
Entferne jeder extra Erweiterung nach einer initialen Eweiterung.
? dient dazu, denn vollen Dateinamen und die initiale Eweiterung zu behalten.
ren * ?????.?????
a -> a
a.b -> a.b
a.b.c -> a.b
part1.part2.part3 -> part1.part2
123456.123456.123456 -> 12345.12345 (note truncated name and extension because not enough `?` were used)
Wie oben, but filter out files with initial name and/or extension longer than 5 chars so that they are not truncated. (Obviously could add an additional ? on either end of targetMask to preserve names and extensions up to 6 chars long)
ren ?????.?????.* ?????.?????
a -> a
a.b -> a.b
a.b.c -> a.b
part1.part2.part3 -> part1.part2
123456.123456.123456 (Not renamed because doesn't match sourceMask)
Change characters after last _ in name and attempt to preserve extension. (Doesn’t work properly if _ appears in extension)
ren *_* *_NEW.*
abcd_12345.txt -> abcd_NEW.txt
abc_newt_1.dat -> abc_newt_NEW.dat
abcdef.jpg (Not renamed because doesn't match sourceMask)
abcd_123.a_b -> abcd_123.a_NEW (not desired, but no simple RENAME form will work in this case)
Any name can be broken up into components that are delimited by . Characters may only be appended to or deleted from the end of each component. Characters cannot be deleted from or added to the beginning or middle of a component while preserving the remainder with wildcards. Substitutions are allowed anywhere.
EDIT – This example has been fixed. The earlier version had incorrect information regarding mismatched sourceMasks
ren ??????.??????.?????? ?x.????999.*rForTheCourse
part1.part2 -> px.part999.rForTheCourse
part1.part2.part3 -> px.part999.parForTheCourse
part1.part2.part3.part4 (Not renamed because doesn't match sourceMask)
a.b.c -> ax.b999.crForTheCourse
a.b.CarPart3BEER -> ax.b999.CarParForTheCourse
If short names are enabled, then a sourceMask with at least 8 ? for the name and at least 3 ? for the extension will match all files because it will always match the short 8.3 name.
ren ????????.??? ?x.????999.*rForTheCourse
part1.part2.part3.part4 -> px.part999.part3.parForTheCourse
