Does Win7 have a built in way to rename these so they match?

Looks like there are a bunch of different filenames all with the AVI
extension.

Rename them so they match? Match what?

The filenames should be sequential, but part of the set has an XL in
the middle of the filename. Is there a way to batch add an XL or
delete the XL?

I don't think so. The logical way IMO would be to select multiple
files and delete or add, but that changes all the filenames to one
name and adds copy numbers.

I'm sure there are utilities for renaming files. I would use a
script.

Good luck.

I don't know what I would do without my Bulk Rename Utility.

Not familiar with that one, but rename master is very good and free.

I use a free program named "Bulk Rename Utility" that does pretty much
all you could ask of it far as renaming files goes.

In the past, at a cmd prompt, I recall being able to do something like
this.....

...not sure about the spaces in the file names though, so I quoted it.


ren "BBC QI (Q*.*" "BBC QI XL (Q*.*"


I'd give this a test, on a set of fake files that could be lost, but I'm
not using Windows at this time.

Thanks
BTW I just noticed that who ever made these file names is not too good
with Roman Numerals.

The set is for series 11.

but "QI" and "QI XL" are different editions of the show, so the names
are correct.

Looks right to me, it is series eleven (11) not two (II)

the only real inconsistency I can see is "VG part 1" vs "VG part two",
could be picky and say "Knights & knaves" and "Knits & knots" should
either both use an ampersand, or neither use one.

The show is QI (Quite Interesting) eleven.
The title should be QI XI not QI XL

XI is 11 not XL.
