Renaming multiple files???

Question

I need to rename multiple files, as for example...

DSC00062.JPG | | | DSC00098.JPG

to...

Thanksgiving00062.JPG | | | Thanksgiving00098.JPG

I vaguely remember, in DOS, that I could type:

REN DSC*.JPG NAME*.JPG

But that won't handle long files names, plus it's a pain dropping into the crappy DOS window.

Anyone know a trick or a utility (doesn't have to be free) that can do this?

Thanks!

Not as good as the DOS method but maybe it works for you:-- Regards, Joerg"gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.Use another domain or send PM.

Jim, this seems to be a more comfy method, no idea about the quality of this program though:-- Regards, Joerg"gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.Use another domain or send PM.

Just discovered that myself.  That will work for what I want to doright now... make a memory stick up for my father of all the familyphotos, without having name conflicts from multiple directories ofDSC... files.But the utility you found looks good for general use.                                        ...Jim Thompson-- | James E.Thompson, P.E.                           |    mens     || Analog Innovations, Inc.                         |     et      || Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems  |    manus    || Phoenix, Arizona  85048    Skype: Contacts Only  |             || Voice:(480)460-2350  Fax: Available upon request |  Brass Rat  || E-mail Icon at  |    1962     |               A simulation, struggling to converge, is telling you something                         Pay attention !-)

Just off the top of my head:#!/bin/bashfor AA in DSC* ; do  BB=`echo $AA | sed "s/DSC/Thanksgiving/"`  mv $AA $BB  doneput an "echo" in front of the mv and test it before you do it for real
