In daily work, batch replacing specified text in folder names is very common, such as during project renaming, folder name readjustment, or cleaning up redundant information in folder names. For example, when a project needs to update date information or the person in charge, all folder names related to that project must be uniformly replaced; otherwise, future searches will be very error-prone. Batch replacing folder names can improve file management standards, clean up unnecessary information, or uniformly replace old text content with new text content. Overall, batch replacing certain key parts of folder names allows for better file management, makes file searches clearer and more straightforward, reduces hassles caused by naming issues, and flexibly adjusting folder names also saves a significant amount of time. So how should we uniformly batch replace multiple keywords that appear in folder names?
1. Use Cases
When project information changes, the related folders representing this project need to be updated synchronously. For example, if the year and code in 2024_ProjectXX_001 change to 2025 and 002 respectively, we can batch rename these folders to 2025_ProjectXX_002 at once, saving the manual effort of updating the time and getting twice the result with half the work.
