In daily work, it is very common to batch replace specified text in folder names, such as during project renaming, folder name adjustments, or cleaning up unnecessary information in folder names. For example, if a project requires updating date information or responsible party content, all folder names related to this project need to be uniformly replaced; otherwise, it is very easy to make mistakes when searching later. Batch replacing folder names can improve file management standards, clear unnecessary information, or unify old text content into new text content. Overall, batch replacing certain keywords in folder names can lead to better file management, making file searches clearer and reducing the hassle caused by file name issues. At the same time, flexibly adjusting folder names can save a lot of time. So, how should we batch replace multiple keywords that appear in folder names?
1、Usage Scenarios
When the information content of a project changes, the related folders representing this project need to be updated synchronously. For example, if the time and code in 2024_ProjectXX_001 change to 2025 and 002 respectively, we can batch update these folder names to 2025_ProjectXX_002 all at once, saving the time of manually modifying each one and making the work more efficient.
