Hey you and welcome! I'm SelmaTeacher 7 also known as Mr. Berry by my students!
see I'm going to rename this file sequence named comp starting from the very first file there to
the new name I'm going to do it all in one shot let me show you how I did this okay open up the
folder that has your files in it and if you don't see your file extensions go up here to
the file go on to options and then click on view and then where it says hide extensions
for known file types go ahead and click that so it doesn't have the checkup Mark anymore
apply and now we'll see the file extensions on these now we need to copy the file path click up
here and notice it shows it up here in the address box right click it and copy now you want to open
up your browser it doesn't matter which browser you're using go up to the URL address box and
right click and paste then hit the enter key once and you'll see this displayed here copy all of
these by using the shortcut Ctrl a this highlights them and then Ctrl c will copy everything
now you need to open up Microsoft Excel or any spreadsheet app
now once Excel opens up go ahead and paste it in you can use a shortcut Ctrl V to paste all
the data in there what we need to do is we need to see the title so go up here to the column here and
spread it out so now we can clearly see the title name of each file and since we only need the file
names what you could do is highlight all the other areas and hit the delete key and it will delete
your other data there that we don't need there you go so now we have just the file names listed
here Okay now click on the H there to highlight the column that has your titles in it and we need
to copy that you could use Ctrl C to copy it and you'll see these little ants going around that
now we need to copy them over to the C column or the I column here and once
we highlight the hot I column go over here click on this Arrow under paste
and choose paste values now we have the names without the hyperlinks and the reason why we
do this is because when you copy over from the browser it copies with your hyperlink all right
we can delete this column all together so I'll go H is deleted there I'm going to highlight all this
copy it and I'm going to go over to column C here and use Ctrl V to paste it in
there we go now we have all the titles in column C
Layton call in the very first A1 key in re name in column B put one space in there and
that's important for the command and D leave a one space in there and then click in E1 so
now in E we're going to type in the new name that I want these so we're going to call these
that work
and then underscore 0 0 1
and then for the F you want to have the file extension so notice it's it's dot m4v so that
has to be there dot m4v has to be the same extension now click in the middle of A1 drag
it across and see this little box here click on the little black box and drag it straight down
and now you notice it's copied it all the way down and same for column D just drag that down
and now you need to copy these two Ctrl C and then Ctrl V that way we have that pasted over
and what we need to do is we need to give it the next number so key in for 0 0 2 for the
second one there I'll highlight all of these here like this one and two and drag both of these down
there you go and you notice each one has the number in order 1 through 14.
now click into column G and want to type in equal sign and then c o n for con cantonate
and I'll go into A1 click it there and then put the comma and then we need B1
comma C1 comma D1 comma and then there's the all-important file name comma and F1
now you'll notice it says rename comp 35 dot m4v to that work underscore zero zero one what
we want to do is we want to highlight this one here and drag it down there you go now
you notice each one changes according to the file name that we have now we need to copy all
these names here by going Ctrl C and it becomes highlighted there now you need to open up Notepad
and paste that contents right there into notepad and this is why we had the single spaces there
in Excel is to add these spaces here for my commands now we need to save this in the same
location as our media files are located and that's right here into the animated media files and we
need to rename this to underscore CMD dot CMD and click on Save Now open up the folder that has the
files in it and you'll notice the very first one there has underscore cmd.cmd go ahead and click it
and it changes all of the names for you there and it's that easy so now you know how to change
a long list of file names from one type there to another all in one shot hey if these like if you
