I need to change the abbreviated year numbers (08) at the start of file names to the full year (2008) on hundreds of files. How can I do this automatically instead of one at a time?

Haven't tried it and if you do, I would suggest doing a trial run with dummy files rather than risk stuufing them up.

Also, I would back the files up prior to any change that you envisage.

Re: Renaming Multiple Files

Best advice- search the internet and download "LUPAS RENAME 2000" This program will rename anything and everything, any way, just as you want with many options.

Re: Renaming Multiple Files

Thank you for both replies which are exactly what I needed. Will save me hours of work. Only problem left is to decide which one to use.
