In handling various tasks for work or projects, most files have been organized and classified, with the sorted files uniformly placed into corresponding folders. When folder names are already categorized alphabetically or by keywords, and you need to batch update and replace multiple folder names, how can you quickly find and replace the content within the file names of the folders?

1. Use Cases

Find letters, symbols, and words in folder names and replace them with any content you enter.

For example: three folder names A-Project Management, A-Budget Reports, A-Client Contracts

You need to batch find "A-" in the names and replace it with "B_"

After replacement, they become B_Project Management, B_Budget Reports, B_Client Contracts
