I need a windows CLI batch file that will allow me to define a root folder. once the root folder is defined, the batch file will loop through all directories in the root, and rename the FILES to be the same name as the PARENT folder. this should work recursively, should have the ability to define the root folder (which all files within subfolders will be renamed)

Hello It looks as elementary task can be completed in couple of hours. One question about "rename the FILES to be the same name as the PARENT folder" Does every folder contain only single file? What if parent directory contains more than 1 file? Thanks

I am writing batch files almost every day and can make this one for you. However, "rename the FILES to be the same name as the PARENT folder" is doable only if there is only one file (including extension) in subfolder, so I'm not sure if that's what you need. Thanks for reading my proposal.

I did it ^_^ Yes, I searched for that and made the required batch file. It first asks you for root folder, then iterates recursively to rename all files inside all sub folders. I tested it to make sure it is working as expected, and took some screenshots to send them to you :) It will be a pleasure working with you in this project ^_^

Please can you share example of files into root so I can see, how we can match file with same as root folder? I have 8+ years of experience in windows and web technologies. Thanks Nagajan

Dear Sir or Madam, Your task sounds very familiar to me. I have been working on the image processing for many years, and some projects contains tens of thousands of images. For this I have already written numerous Windows bat files to sort and rename images. Alternatively, I could also offer a solution in C ++ as Exe file. I am new to Freelancer and therefore I have no references here. Best regards Klaus Voigt

Can do it with just a simple .bat script. Are there many files in each folder? Should the script keeps file's extension?
