Windows 10: Changing same file text in multiple files....

Good Day:


I have many files that have the exact same text string in all of them. Below is a list of just some of the files.




As you can see, all the files have "MACF" in them except the very first one. Somehow, I would to be able to change the "MACF" to "MACRO" in all of the remaining files in order to keep them similar. Is there a way to change just a specific text string in multiple file names at one time?


Please let me know as soon as you are able to.


Thank you,

Gathering Names Of Multiple Files

Try this snippit in a batch file:

You have to specify where to go with the batch file, which is what the cd command is for. Then, once the prompt is in that directory, the last command lists all of the files (including directories) in the list_of_files.txt text file, since dir is a command, not the directory location. *Smile

Edit: Also, if your directory has spaces, you may have to put the directory in quotes, such as:

 

Batch Files Knowledge Base

Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.
