Batch file renaming with filters (Pack and Go)

Unread post by chancegarrison »

Hi Guys,
I recently had the need to rename a bunch of files and have always used pack-and-go for this type of work, but it left me with something to desire.
Does anyone have a macro that can filter out the renaming function based on file type?

For instance, I need to rename only assembly files and their respective drawings, but there is no way to keep from having the part files and their drawings renamed with the way things are named.

I have seen Pack and GO macro but have not seen a one that suits your case. But it can be made.

If assembly files and their respective drawings use the same name and there is no parts sharing assembly names, then Bibotac can handle this using a spreadsheet to rename.
Could you share a sample of files (just a list of name with extensions) to run some tests and see if it will do the job.
