As an ordinary office worker, we process a large number of files on our computers every day and often encounter issues with not being able to find files or not knowing what a file is for. If a text prefix is added at the beginning of the file name, these problems can be easily solved. For example, when working on a project, you can add the project name at the beginning of all files related to the project content, so you can tell at a glance which project the file content belongs to and not worry about mixing up files from different projects. At the same time, adding date prefixes, names, and version numbers is also very quick and convenient. By reasonably renaming files and adding text prefixes, you can greatly improve file management and work efficiency, especially when there are hundreds or thousands of files that need to have a prefix added uniformly, directly inserting text prefixes at the beginning of files in batches can multiply our efficiency. So, how can we batch-add the text content we input ourselves to the beginning of our file names?
1. Use Cases
When you have a large number of files and need to quickly distinguish between different projects, you may need to insert project-related content at the beginning of the file names. Or, for unified company reports, expenditures, budgets, and other files, you may need to generate the company name at the very front of the file name. We can batch-insert custom text directly into these files, making it easy to organize and categorize files and intuitively display the company to which the files belong.
