Rename if the file name contains a specific word

Hello,

I would like to rename a file only if it's contains a specific word.

Example : if the file name content "TheWord" I choose to insert at the beginning the folder name.

Folder_N1
     startstuff_TheWord_endstuff.exe = Folder_N1_startstuff_TheWord_endstuff.exe
     TheWord_endstuff.exe = Folder_N1_TheWord_endstuff.exe
     startstuff_TheWord.exe =  Folder_N1_startstuff_TheWord.exe
     startstuff_endstuff.exe = startstuff_endstuff.exe // no change

Folder_N1
     startstuff_TheWord_endstuff.exe = Folder_N2_startstuff_TheWord_endstuff.exe
     TheWord_endstuff.exe = Folder_N2_TheWord_endstuff.exe
     startstuff_TheWord.exe =  Folder_N2_startstuff_TheWord.exe
     startstuff_endstuff.exe = startstuff_endstuff.exe // no change
....

There's a way to do that without Pascal ? (I know PHP/JS but not Pascal)

Best Regards
Nexus

Re: Rename if the file name contains a specific word

Without PascalScript?

There are three ways, I can think off right now:

1: use your file manager, e.g. WinExp to search, then drag&drop only the wanted to ReNamer

2: Or check out the Filter settings in ReNamer at first step: *YourTermHere*

for to next load only wanted files

3: Or load all files to ReNamer, then use right click context menu to Mark by Mask: *YourTermHere*.*

HTH?
