Program that will rename and rearrange filenames in bulk?

That should be easy, unless you need to convert their p*rn star name to their real name, too.

 

heyp, lol.

I used to use a shareware program called The Rename. You can do the name reshuffling in Excel and then import the list into the application and it renames everything in a couple of seconds.

 

opendir(dir, ".");
@files= readdir(dir);

foreach $file (@files){
print "$file\n";
if($file =~ m/(.*) (.*) (.*)\.pdf/){
printf "found $file\n doing rename to $2 $1 $3.pdf\n";
rename "$file","$2 $1 $3.pdf";
}
}

THis is a perl script that will do it.

 

I don't have links, downloaded them couple years back

I use a tools called
Lupas Rename 2000 (clean UI))
Bulk Rename Utility (or BRU. lesser UI, little learning curve but works nice)

I've used them plenty. I dont know how to make it switch places with 2 words. (as in, a command to swap the first 2 full words of a file name). But if you've never used one before, its like the find/replace function in word document programs. (Find All: EGG WHITE. Replace All With: WHITE EGG) You have to tell it the SPECIFIC ACTUAL words. But maybe that code up above looks like what you have in mind
