    I used the Python os.rename function to rename a file with an invalid character


    I am using Windows 10, and I used the Python os.rename function to forcefully rename one of my file names with an invalid character '/?\'. After doing so, the file disappeared. I am wondering if the file was simply deleted, or if there are any hidden risks involved.

  3. Trouble renaming photos and files

    Dear Guru Kiran,



    I followed the steps that you mentioned above. Unfortunately, it did not fix my problem. (I did not have any corrupted system files).

    I still cannot rename any of my files or photos when I select "Rename". After typing one or two characters the rename-window just closes.

    The only way I can rename a file or photo is when I select properties. This is a very annoying step especially if I am trying to rename many photos with the same name.



    I hope that you are still able to help me fix this problem.



    Sincerely,



    Lucia Clark

  4. I used the Python os.rename function to rename a file with an invalid character

    File renamer utility?

    Is there a good file renamer utility that's safe to use anyone could recommend? I used to use Gizmo's list for app suggestions but this particular application has not been reviewed in several years, so I don't know if those apps are safe to use or not.

    I have many files I need to rename but keep the individuality of the names. For instance, I need to rename all files in a particular folder from yyyy.mm.pdf to AMEXyyyy.mm.pdf keeping the yyyy.mm data unique. Another folder has a ton of files that need to be renamed from yyyy.mm.pdf to Visayyyy.mm.pdf.

    I had all this figured out a month or so back but have already forgotten how I did it using an arcane script in either cmd prompt or powershell, I can't remember which. And now I'm drawing a blank how to do it. Again. smh. So I thought a nice freeware file renamer might help me out.
