renaming multiple files

[Jonas]

Hi,
is there a way to rename files in windows by selecting
the fiels you want to rename and then use a "find and
replace" command so that you could enter a search string
and replace it with the name you want?

Regards
Jonas

Not in the GUI. Multiple renaming in the GUI appends a number to the =
end. Select multiple files (Ctrl + Click), right click the first, rename =
it and all will get the same name with a number at the end.

In a command prompt you can use ren or move

To change all txt files to text files

ren *.txt *.text.

Type move and ren in help.
