Wish for Multi_Rename Tool: Rename according to a text file

Post by *Raymond »

I found this nice feather in another rename tool:
For example, there're 10 files here
file1
file2
...
file10

And there's a txt file, which content is 10 lines:
name1
name2
...
name10

Then the tool renames the 10 files according to the content of txt file, one file per line.

It's very useful for me, especially when I want to rename some mp3 files which names are something like 01.mp3, 02.mp3...to the track name. I simply get the track list from music website, copy and paste to a text file, maybe do a little edit, then rename the files with a mouse click!

Do you think it's a feature good enough to be available in Totalcmd?

Interesting feature. Of course you would have to have the names inside the txt file sorted in the same order as they appear in TCmd. :) Anyway, IMO if such a feature existed, it would belong in the multi-rename tool. Nice one.

This is what batch does, you really don't need it in multi rename tool. Put following in a text file, save it as "rename1.bat" in the same directory(folder) as your mp3 then double click on it:

---cut below this line----
ren "01.mp3" "good old dos.mp3"
ren "02.mp3" "or bad old dos.mp3"
---cut above this line---
