Find date content in a large number of file names and batch replace it with another date content

After processing files, some files with date annotations in their names need to be updated, requiring the old dates in the names to be uniformly replaced with new dates to enhance file management. This allows files to be quickly distinguished when searching, as the dates in the file names can be easily identified. Below is an introduction on how to find existing dates, times, and other content in file names and replace them simultaneously.

1. Use Cases

Find dates, times, etc., in file names and uniformly replace them with newly entered dates, times, or other content.

For example: 2024-12-1Research_Article_Draft.docx, 2024-12-1Meeting_Notes.pdf, 2024-12-1Project_Overview.mp4

Need to batch replace "2024-12-1" with "2025-1-1".

After replacement, they become 2025-1-1Research_Article_Draft.docx, 2025-1-1Meeting_Notes.pdf, 2025-1-1Project_Overview.mp4
