A closer look at Rename
This program helps you rename a directory of files. It can rename all the files, prepend text, append text, or append text after the name but before the extension. What makes it really useful is that it takes a variable that lets you number your files. The variable is represented by a question mark, and the question marks are replaced by numbers - one digit for each position. So if I specify NewName???.txt, my files will be renamed to NewName001.txt, NewName002.txt, etc. You can start at any number you want, and it sorts the files alphabetically when it renames them. If you screw up, it keeps the last operation in memory and can undo it for you. It also can remove symbols from file names (remove all instances of the letter C for example), delete leading characters, delete characters at the end of the file name but before the extension, and you can replace the extension.
