Yeh he kaam ki video, updated ideas of file rename - ua-cam.com/video/N_Gz72qv6ds/v-deo.html

[@theactualjosi]

If you're using Windows 11, instead of using '/d' in the command, use '/b'. For example:
dir /b > list.txt
Microsoft changed the way dir commands function in Windows 11 and you now have to use the /b tag to generate a list that's easy to paste into Excel. Using /d will end up with a wrapped list with two filenames per row instead of one, which makes pasting into Excel a CHORE to the point where it'd be more time-efficient to just manually go through each file and rename them yourself in file explorer. If you use /b, it will generate a list formatted the same way as the list that's used in this video.

[@KK-vq1do]

This was extremely helpful. Thank you.
For those who are getting two columns instead of a single column, type in: dir /b => filename.txt
This worked better for me.

[@1O1neTake]

Holy shit it worked, thanks bro.

[@austinfisette5842]

Thank you so much for this! FYI it also works with items in sub-directories I had 17,000 files from a crashed hard drive that were all named Thumb1 2 or 3. They were all in different folders but until I used this with the directory path and file name I was going to have to manually change all the names. This saved me HOURS & HOURS of time to recover these pictures of my kids. Thank you!

[@Everythintechy]

Really appreciate for your awesome feedback...

[@SydnificantMe]

Thank you for the video, this worked perfectly! Note: If command prompt won't let you paste, right click on the window's title bar then open the Properties. Then enable Ctrl+Shift+V !

[@Everythintechy]

Thank you

[@arrrexx]

I used this to remove the "(2) - Copy" from all files after separating the originals to a different folder. Excel was perfect for this becasue the formula makes it much easier for different file types too.
Pro Tip: I had to do this in a Network folder I could not cd into. In that case, add a column for filepath to go in the equation and it will work the same if you have write access.
Example:
a new column for filepath = 'V:\user\home
enamedFiles\'
I placed this in the E column
then equation becomes: =D2&" """&E2&A2&""" """&C2&B2&""""

[@justsomedude4093]

Thank you very much! I had to modify part of the formula to """"&A2&B2&"""" because the extension was missing from the original file for some reason. But it worked, saved me lots of time.

[@Everythintechy]

Glad it helped! and thank you for your valuable comment on the same.

[@Arham__Qasim]

Thankyou bhaijaan, mai 2 din se isme phasa tha

[@gospellighthouse1557]

That works but to a point. I did all that you suggested, but then what happened was that there's 116 pictures in my folder, and when it got to the 26th picture, it started adding the number in parenthesis starting with (1) again?????

[@alijiw5056]

[@ekoi1995]

2:30 dir /d => filename.txt
6:34 ren "old name.extension" "new name.extension"

[@gordgood6506]

Now I wish every tutorial on youtube has an epic music background in it..

[@En3rgized]

lol ikr, that'll really draw your attention and make file renaming in windows 10 more intense.

[@Everythintechy]

LOL, right...

[@MishkaHuishka]

Thank you so much you really helped me.
But.. in a different way :D
I was using other easier tutorial from a to z but it didn't work. So I changed only last step from that other tutorial and I have added quotes (") to the files name. And it worked like magic. Thank you so much ❤️

[@MishkaHuishka]

I also used ren command from your tutorial instead of a rename command from other guys tutorial :) I'm so happy thanks :)

thanks but i had a problem, I am able to rename only 50% files, please help me to resolve this problem. i need another help, may i take all data from different sheets (more than 500 sheets) in one sheet only in excel

[@Everythintechy]

Yes you can get as there is a option in Excel to get data from the folder... You have to just put all (500 Excel) into that folder... If you want we can make a separate video on the same.

[@Mahmood-]

aside from the horrible music, if you wanted to rename it that way, you could've just, selected all and renamed a single file and windows would number the rest.
