I have 1500 files that are named with an incorrectly dateformat. I would like to rename them. Are there a tool that can do that? Otherwise a piece of php code.File names are:ddmmyyyy.xls (e.g. 15012010 for 15.th Jan 2010)and I would like:yyyymmdd.xls (e.g. 20100115.xls)Any clue on how this can be done for 1500 files in one go?BR. AndersUPDATE:Also tried the MP3TAG, that is suggested in one of the answers. It is a free tool and also did the job. It took a while to figure out how to use it. If you wanne try do this:[*]add xls (or other format) to the list of editable files in configuration[*]choose folder to load files AND mark files in the pane you want to edit[*]I clicked the "Convert - Quick" button. It is also possible to save schemaes for future use but I could not figure out how.[*]after clicking "convert - quick" choose "using regex" (only regex option)And then you just add the info to process the renaming. In my case:
- field: _FILENAME
- from: ([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{4})
- to: $3-$2-$1
