I've been looking around for some renaming software that could do things in bulk, so far all I want is to rename a bunch of 30 files that have the wrong extension (.html) but so far most software doesn't allow me to rename the extension and most others are insanely complex.
I just want a simple piece of software that will get the job done, and will be easy, quick an fast to use in the future. I'm hoping there's a piece of software that installs itself to the right-click list, so you can hopefully shift-click all your files and click bulk rename or whatever if anyone knows of anything like that or anything like the aforementioned please tell me!
AnalogX has something like this as a shell extension.
Copy the code below, making the necessary adjustments:
[code]
ren *.(current extension name) *.(extension you want)
[/code]
Paste it into notepad, save as RENAME.bat, copy it to the directory you want to rename stuff, and double click it.
Thanks mate, such a simple and easy solution just what I wanted.
Yeah, whenever I needed something like that done I coded it myself.

Or you can use utilities provided with your operating system, like mv or ren
This is one of those times where knowing batch is actually useful.

i, insert random, commas too
