| The following DOS batch one liner will rename many same-named folder folders. | |
| The following example will rename folders under "Reports Test 2\data" that ends with "Custodian1" and renames it to "Custodian2." | |
| for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('dir /b /s "Reports Test 2\data" ^| findstr /r "Custodian1$"') do ren "%a" "Custodian2" | |
| This can be easily customized for example to rename folders or files in the current folder: | |
| for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('dir /b') do ren "%~na" "%~na2" |
