Batch renaming with counter
In the latest version of AKS Text Replacer it is now possible to do a batch renaming of files using a counter.
Here how it works:
- Start AKS Text Replacer.
- Select “Rename files and folders” option on “Step 1. Files & Directories” tab. In folders field specify the search in path.
- Go to the “Step 2. Replaces” tab.
- Enter in the field “Name to find” some mask for the files that you want to find or just enter * to process all files in the directory.
- In the “Replace with” field put ##Counter4####OriginalExt##.
- ##Counter4## tells the program to use counter in 4 digits format like 0001, 0002, 0003, etc.
- ##OriginalExt## tells the program to keep original file extension.
Example: if the program will find “some document.doc” it will be renamed in “0001.doc”, then if the program will find “the next document.doc” it will be renamed in “0002.doc”.

- If the order of the files and file names are important to you, the renaming of files with number in names might also help.
