Remove, truncate, and replace
Using the renaming command 'REMOVE' and 'REPLACE' in the renaming rule builder, you can build different type of renaming rules to remove, truncate, or replace some part in the file names:

You can also input different pattern format like '[*]' or '{*}' in the 3rd combo box to create different renaming command, it's very flexible. The '*' here works as the asterisk wildcard. - Remove the part after or before a specific tag.
For example: to remove all the characters after '_', similar as previous example, just need to input '_*' in the 3rd combo box. - Truncate filename to a specific length count from left or right, same as remove other characters and keep the left or right n characters.
For example, to truncate filenames to be 8 characters count from left, you just need to select 'FILENAME' in combo box 1, 'REMOVE' in combo box 2, 'left' in combo box 3, and input '=8' (an '=' sign before the length value means the length is be exactly 8) in the 3rd combo box, then click the '+' button to add this renaming command to the list, and it's ready to rename. - Use 'REPLACE' in the 2nd combo box to replace any characters by other characters or replace characters by empty, which is functioned same as remove the characters.

the first n letters, the last n letters.
- To uppercase or lowercase all the letters in file name.
- To uppercase or lowercase the number n character count from left or right.
For example: to uppercase the 4th character in the filenames, after select 'FILENAME', 'UPPERCASE', and 'left' in the first 3 combo boxes, you just need to input '#4' in the 4th combo box and click the '+' button to add the renaming command to the list, then you can start renaming, if the 4th character in the file name is a letter, it will be uppercased, if not, it will not be changed. e.g. '001my file.txt' will be changed to '001My file.txt'. - To uppercase or lowercase the number n letter count from left or right.
For example: to uppercase the 4th letter in the filenames, after select 'FILENAME', 'UPPERCASE', and 'left' in the first 3 combo boxes, you just need to input '#4letter' in the 4th combo box and click the '+' button to add the renaming command to the list, then you can start renaming, and the 4th letter in the file name will be uppercased. e.g. '001my file.txt' will be changed to '001my fIle.txt'. - To uppercase or lowercase a specific length of characters of the filename count from left or from right. For example: to uppercase the first 3 characters, select 'left' in the 3rd combo box and input '3' in the 4th combo box. If the character is not letter, then the won't be changed.

This renaming command can be combined with other commands, so you can specify the output folder for any renaming result.
Encrypt/Decrypt (Encode/Decode) filenames
When more and more people care about the security of their files on computer, even the file names contain lots of information, so let BatchRename help you to encrypt the names.
You can choose from 3 different algorithms to encrypt/encode your file names:
- RC4 - you can create your own password to encrypt the file names, so it will be very hard for others to decrypt them, create a long password will also increase the security. But using RC4 algorithm will grow the length of the file name, so for very long file names, after encryption, it may exceed the Windows allowed file name max length, then the rename won't succeed. You can truncate file names to a specific length then use RC4 to encrypt them.
- Base64 - It's a popular and fast encoding algorithm, it can help you hide quickly the filenames. But it won't be too hard to decode, and it's not password protected, you can use this together with RC4 method, encode filenames first by Base64 and then encrypt them with RC4, it will be harder to decrypt.
- MD5 - you can use this method to encode a filename, but it won't be decodable.
Dropshare 5 0 3. If you select 'Encrypt' from the first combo box, 'Filename', 'FileExtension', and 'AllTogether' will be listed on the 2nd combo box, you can select to encrypt/encode the filename only, or the file extension only, or the whole file name and extension together there. After that on the 3rd combo box, RC4, Base64, and MD5 will be the options there, and if you select 'RC4', you can input a password for the encryption.
When you select 'Encrypt' from the 1st combo box, the only difference will be there's no 'MD5' option on the 3rd combo box, because it's not decodable.

Remove, truncate, and replace
Using the renaming command 'REMOVE' and 'REPLACE' in the renaming rule builder, you can build different type of renaming rules to remove, truncate, or replace some part in the file names:
- Remove all characters
- Remove the left/right n characters
- Remove the left/right n letters
For example, to remove the first three letters, after select 'FILENAME', 'REMOVE', and 'left' in the first 3 combo boxes, you just need to input '3letter' in the 4th combo box. - Remove the number n character count from left or right.
For example: to remove the 4th character in the filenames, after select 'FILENAME', 'REMOVE', and 'left' in the first 3 combo boxes, you just need to input '#4' in the 4th combo box. - Remove the formatted date from filename, after select 'FILENAME', 'REMOVE', and 'date' in the first 3 combo boxes, you can select all types of date format in the 4th combo box.
- Remove the part between specific tag like '(' and ')'
For example: to remove '(1)','(2)'..'(10)'..'(100)'.. in filenames, you just need to select the format '(*)' from the 3rd combo box, then all characters within the round blanket will be removed from the filename.
You can also input different pattern format like '[*]' or '{*}' in the 3rd combo box to create different renaming command, it's very flexible. The '*' here works as the asterisk wildcard. - Remove the part after or before a specific tag.
For example: to remove all the characters after '_', similar as previous example, just need to input '_*' in the 3rd combo box. - Truncate filename to a specific length count from left or right, same as remove other characters and keep the left or right n characters.
For example, to truncate filenames to be 8 characters count from left, you just need to select 'FILENAME' in combo box 1, 'REMOVE' in combo box 2, 'left' in combo box 3, and input '=8' (an '=' sign before the length value means the length is be exactly 8) in the 3rd combo box, then click the '+' button to add this renaming command to the list, and it's ready to rename. - Use 'REPLACE' in the 2nd combo box to replace any characters by other characters or replace characters by empty, which is functioned same as remove the characters. For example. to remove all spaces from filename, you just need to select 'FILENAME' in combo box 1, 'REPLACE' in combo box 2, and input a space in combo box 3, and keep empty in combo box 4, then click the '+' button to add this renaming command to the list, and it's ready to rename.
Uppercase and Lowercase
Using the renaming command 'UPPERCASE' and 'LOWERCASE' in the renaming rule builder, you can build the following different kinds of renaming rules:
the first n letters, the last n letters.
- To uppercase or lowercase all the letters in file name.
- To uppercase or lowercase the number n character count from left or right.
For example: to uppercase the 4th character in the filenames, after select 'FILENAME', 'UPPERCASE', and 'left' in the first 3 combo boxes, you just need to input '#4' in the 4th combo box and click the '+' button to add the renaming command to the list, then you can start renaming, if the 4th character in the file name is a letter, it will be uppercased, if not, it will not be changed. e.g. '001my file.txt' will be changed to '001My file.txt'. - To uppercase or lowercase the number n letter count from left or right.
For example: to uppercase the 4th letter in the filenames, after select 'FILENAME', 'UPPERCASE', and 'left' in the first 3 combo boxes, you just need to input '#4letter' in the 4th combo box and click the '+' button to add the renaming command to the list, then you can start renaming, and the 4th letter in the file name will be uppercased. e.g. '001my file.txt' will be changed to '001my fIle.txt'. - To uppercase or lowercase a specific length of characters of the filename count from left or from right. For example: to uppercase the first 3 characters, select 'left' in the 3rd combo box and input '3' in the 4th combo box. If the character is not letter, then the won't be changed.
- To uppercase or lowercase the left or right specific length of letters by add 'letter' after the length in the 4th combo box, then other non letter characters will be skipped.
For example, to uppercase the first three letter, just input '3letter' in the last combo box, file like '123__filename' will be renamed as '123__FILename'. - To uppercase or lowercase the first letter of each word in the filename.
For example: if you want to uppercase the first letter of every word in file 'this is my doc file.doc', then after select 'FILENAME' and 'UPPERCASE' in the first two combo boxes, you just need to select 'the_first_letter_of_each_word' in the 3rd combo box, then the file will be renamed as 'This Is My Doc File.doc'.

This renaming command can be combined with other commands, so you can specify the output folder for any renaming result.
Encrypt/Decrypt (Encode/Decode) filenames
When more and more people care about the security of their files on computer, even the file names contain lots of information, so let BatchRename help you to encrypt the names.
You can choose from 3 different algorithms to encrypt/encode your file names:
- RC4 - you can create your own password to encrypt the file names, so it will be very hard for others to decrypt them, create a long password will also increase the security. But using RC4 algorithm will grow the length of the file name, so for very long file names, after encryption, it may exceed the Windows allowed file name max length, then the rename won't succeed. You can truncate file names to a specific length then use RC4 to encrypt them.
- Base64 - It's a popular and fast encoding algorithm, it can help you hide quickly the filenames. But it won't be too hard to decode, and it's not password protected, you can use this together with RC4 method, encode filenames first by Base64 and then encrypt them with RC4, it will be harder to decrypt.
- MD5 - you can use this method to encode a filename, but it won't be decodable.
Dropshare 5 0 3. If you select 'Encrypt' from the first combo box, 'Filename', 'FileExtension', and 'AllTogether' will be listed on the 2nd combo box, you can select to encrypt/encode the filename only, or the file extension only, or the whole file name and extension together there. After that on the 3rd combo box, RC4, Base64, and MD5 will be the options there, and if you select 'RC4', you can input a password for the encryption.
When you select 'Encrypt' from the 1st combo box, the only difference will be there's no 'MD5' option on the 3rd combo box, because it's not decodable.
