Batch rename part of filename

[peterpix]

I've got a lot of files that I batch renamed in the format [ABC]_[yyyy][mm][dd]_[filename] so the current filename is e.g.

ABC_20210325_DSF1234.jpg

I now want to rename these files with different text at the front, e.g.

DEF_20210325_DSF1234.jpg

If I use [Text: DEF_][filename] I will of course get DEF_ABC_20210325_DSF1234.jpg which is not what I want.

Can anyone tell me please how I can batch replace ABC with DEF?

Use the replace text option. See below.
This is the resulting rename text (which you can copy/paste to the rename dialog after clicking its hamburger -> Edit as Text)

Code: Select all

%FileName{replace=ABC_,DEF_}.%FileExtension

Astonishingly easy! Thanks Hert for the rapid response.
