Since you ok'd powershell, here is a powershell script that should do the work for you.
This can also be done in batch fairly easily but I don't suggest it.
I would normally push harder for you to do this yourself.. but this should give you a good launching point for future file processing in powershell.
You can use this concept to process anything you want in any way you want.
Look at where I put the spit line..
that's your before name..
Look at the $newName= line.
that's your after name.
Right there is where you would change the logic of what to find and what to do with it.
param ( [string]$Path = (Get-Location).Path ) # Get all folders in the specified directory $folders = Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -Directory # Loop through each folder foreach ($folder in $folders) { # Split the current folder name by comma $nameParts = $folder.Name.Split(',') # Check if the folder name has onlyh name, surname if ($nameParts.Length -eq 2) { # Trim and create new name $surname = $nameParts[1].Trim() $name = $nameParts[0].Trim() $newName = "$surname, $name" try { # Rename the folder Rename-Item -Path $folder.FullName -NewName $newName -ErrorAction Stop Write-Host "Renamed: '$($folder.Name)' to '$newName'" } catch { Write-Host "Error renaming '$($folder.Name)': $_" } } else { Write-Host "Skipping '$($folder.Name)' - It isn't named X,Y" } }
