Rename multiple files in cmd

Make sure that there are more ? than there are characters in the longest name:

ren *.txt "???????????????????????????? 1.1.txt"

See How does the Windows RENAME command interpret wildcards? for more info.

New Solution - 2014/12/01

For those who like regular expressions, there is JREN.BAT - a hybrid JScript/batch command line utility that will run on any version of Windows from XP forward.

jren "^.*(?=\.)" "$& 1.1" /fm "*.txt"

or

jren "^(.*)(\.txt)$" "$1 1.1$2" /i

Step 1:

Select all files (ctrl + A)

Step 2 :

Then choose rename option

Step 3:

Choose your filename... for ex: myfile

it automatically rename to myfile (01),myfile (02),,.....

If you want to replace spaces & bracket.. continue step 4

Step 4:

Open Windows Powershell from your current folder

Step 5:

For replace empty space to underscore (_)

 dir | rename-item -NewName {$_.name -replace [Regex]::Escape(" "),"_"}

Step 6:

For replace open bracket

 dir | rename-item -NewName {$_.name -replace [Regex]::Escape("("),""}

For replace close bracket

 dir | rename-item -NewName {$_.name -replace [Regex]::Escape(")"),""}

for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b /a-d *.txt') do ren "%%~i" "%%~ni 1.1%%~xi"

If you use the simple for loop without the /f parameter, already renamed files will be again renamed.
