I have a directory structure as below:
Folder
> SubFolder1
> FileName1.abc
> Filename2.abc
> .............
> SubFolder2
> FileName11.abc
> Filename12.abc
> ..............
> ..........
etc. I want to rename the files inside the subfolders as:
SubFolder1_Filename1.abc
SubFolder1_Filename2.abc
SubFolder2_Filename11.abc
SubFolder2_Filename12.abc
i.e. add the folder name at the beginning of the file name with the delimiter "_
". The directory structure should remain unchanged. Note: Beginning of file name is same. e.g. in above case File*.
I made below Script
for /r "PATH" %%G in (.) do (
pushd %%G
for %%* in (.) do set MyDir=%%~n*
FOR %%v IN (File*.*) DO REN %%v "%MyDir%_%%v" popd )
Problem with the above script is that it is taking only one Subfolder name and placing it to the beginning of file name irrespective of the folder.
