I have a folder with a group of files. For example;First folderAudio1.wavAudio2.wavAudio3.wavAudio.... and so onSecond folderYes.wavNo.wavPerhaps.wav... and so onAnd there's the same amount of those files, but they named different.

Renaming group of files

Hi Richard,

There is a possibility that you are experiencing an issue with renaming the group of files because of a software conflict or damages within the files you are trying to rename. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following
questions:

• Which build and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
• Why are you using the Windows PowerShell instead of File Explorer to rename the files?
  
• Is your device connected to a domain network?

PowerShell is usually used by advanced users to troubleshoot problems with Windows. You can visit this
link as a reference on how to use PowerShell to rename files in bulk.

We are looking forward to your response.

 

Renaming group of files

REN in Powershell is not the same as REN in CMD.

REN in PowerShell is an Alias for Rename-Item, and it has different behaviours.

To get an example of how to use Rename-Item in Powershell type:

help rename-item -examples

The fourth example that is displayed is this:

Get-ChildItem *.txt | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.name -Replace '\.txt','.log' }

therefore, you need to get a list of the items that you want to rename and rename the items

for example, if I had a folder full of .jpeg files that I wanted to rename to .jpg then I would need to run the following from the directory that holds the files:

Get-ChildItem *.jpeg | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.Name -replace '\.jpeg','.jpg'}

I must admit that it is simpler in DOS with REN
