hi, i would like to rename alot of files (about 1200), such like:

[animal] [cat] new-0001.jpg
[animal] [cat] new-0002.jpg
[animal] [cat] new-0003.jpg
[animal] [cat] new-0004.jpg
...

change to:

[cg] [animal] [cat] new-0001.jpg
[cg] [animal] [cat] new-0002.jpg
[cg] [animal] [cat] new-0003.jpg
[cg] [animal] [cat] new-0004.jpg
...

each file add "[cg] " at the front.

what should i type? ren...??? or any software can do it?

thanks!

I believe ACD See 3.0 was capable of multiple file renames. The current version (5?) will probably be able to do this as well.

You could tryis from the command prompt as well, after navigating to the folder that contains the files.

ren *[animal] [cat] new*.jpg *[cg] [animal] [cat] new*.jpg

Keep in mind that you cannot have spaces in a file name though, to run this sort of command.
