Include the path to limit the results to a folder, for example, to find files and folders in the folder D:\Downloads, search for: To limit the results to a drive, simply search for that drive.įor example, to find files and folders on your D: drive, search for: *.* for every file, *.txt for TXTs, *.Type in a partial filename, files and folders matching your partial filename search will be instantly displayed in the result list.įor example, to find files and folders with the text reports in the filename, search for: REM all is the file type you want to raname. Just put a folder that does not exist and is not used by anything else (fullpath). REM tm is a temporary folder that will be created and deleted.

REM pb is the folder containing the files we want to rename (fullpath) REM If you want to just remove the spaces uncomment lines 30 and 52 and comment out the lines 29 and 51. REM This script repaces spaces from file names with underscores. Do not store the batch file in the same folder you have the files to be renamed if you use *.* option. Instructions about what to change are at the top (commended out lines). So I made this script that checks if the new name already exists and if so places a number at the end of the file name (adds 1 to the number until there is no other file with that name). The problem i have faced is that there is a possibility that there is already a file with the name you try to give to the new file (eg if there are 2 files in the folder named "file one.txt" and "file_one.txt" when you try to replace the spaces with underscores, one file will replace the other). RenameNoSpace /R c:\ : Renames all files on the C: drive. Quotes are used because path contains a space. RenameNoSpace "c:\my folder\" : Renames files in the specified path. RenameNoSpace myFolder : Renames files in the "myFolder" directory found in the current directory. RenameNoSpace /R : Renames files in the folder tree rooted at the current directory RenameNoSpace : (no arguments) Renames files in the current directory If "%~1" neq "" (set "inPath=%~1\") else set "inPath="įor %forOption% %%F in ("%inPath%* *") do (Īssume the script is called renameNoSpace.bat Here is a script that can efficiently bulk rename files, stripping all spaces from the name.
