| Description: |
| How to search a subset of xml filenames and rename them? They do have common elements like .xml and the dashes, but I am trying to extract out a subset from a whole bunch of files that have this common format. |
| Input Sample: |
| Here are examples of the filenames: 50972F39-A15B-4C90-B9E6-CF7F76CD6E99.xml 15d161ed-9e7b-4c92-ba45-0556d2423e67.xml c7a43df7-eb37-4273-9250-87953b1fd270.xml 0FB67B1C-B4C0-46f2-8A81-DF1510E006AA.xml; |
| Output Sample: |
| abc_50972F39-A15B-4C90-B9E6-CF7F76CD6E99.xml abc_15d161ed-9e7b-4c92-ba45-0556d2423e67.xml abc_c7a43df7-eb37-4273-9250-87953b1fd270.xml abc_0FB67B1C-B4C0-46f2-8A81-DF1510E006AA.xml; |
| Answer: |
| Hint: You need to Download and install "Replace Pioneer" on windows platform to finish following steps. |
| 1. press ctrl-B to open "Batch Runner" window. 2. click "Search Files" button Enter the filename filter entry like: If you need a more accurate match, you can set it like: Note: you can use wildcard chars(* matches more chars, ? matches single char). * If you only need to extract a subset of these xml files, you can try open some of them, find out if the files you want to extract have some common keywords like 'aaa' inside, if so, you can also set "Containg word/phrase" entry to aaa in the 'Search Files' dialog. * You can also set "size filter" or "last modify" filter if required. * If you don't fill comfortable in the "Search Files" window of "Replace Pioneer", you can use Windows File Explorer to search all files filtered by *-*-*-*-*.xml, and drag the search result into "Batch Runner" window of Replace Pioneer. 3. click "Search" and "Close" 4. set output file name to abc_${FILENAME} and click file rename |
