Examples

Rename the selected items by adding .bak to the end of each name.

{
RNFR %f
RNTO %f.bak
}

Here we use the rename command to convert the selected item names from mixed case to lowercase.

{

RNFR %f

RNTO $lowercase(%f)

}

Lets say there are bunch of files and the first part of the name is "RW1F-K5963170-" but it they all need to be renamed to start with "K5963170-RW1F-", again using the rename command but this time along with the $replace command.

{

RNFR %f

RNTO $replace("%f","RW1F-K5963170-","K5963170-RW1F-")

}
