<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="width:100%"><tr style="vertical-align:top"><td style="text-align:left">
<p class="p_Normal">In the <span class="f_Command">Actions</span> menu, the <span class="f_Command">Rename</span> <img width="16" height="16" style="margin:0;width:16px;height:16px;border:none" src="rename.png"/> command renames the selected files and folders.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">In the <span class="f_Command">Action</span> subsection, you can pick either <span class="f_Command">DOS compatible</span> or <span class="f_Command">Regular expressions</span> rename.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">DOS rename</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">To rename files using DOS wildcards, pick <span class="f_Command">DOS compatible</span> in the Rename dialog.  In the <span class="f_Command">New mask</span> edit, enter the new name.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">If multiple files or folders are selected, a base mask is computed which represents the overlap of all the names.  An asterisk (*) is used to represent one or more characters, while a question mark (?) is used to represent a single character.  Leave these characters alone, but change others to produce unique names for each of the selected files or folders.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Examples:</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Assume that you've selected the following files to rename:</p>
<p class="p_SingleSpaced"><span class="f_CourierFixed"> &nbsp; &nbsp; abc1.txt</span></p>
<p class="p_SingleSpaced"><span class="f_CourierFixed"> &nbsp; &nbsp; abc2.txt</span></p>
<p class="p_SingleSpaced"><span class="f_CourierFixed"> &nbsp; &nbsp; abc3.txt</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Normal">If you enter &quot;abc?.bak&quot; as the new mask, the files will be renamed to:</p>
<p class="p_SingleSpaced"><span class="f_CourierFixed"> &nbsp; &nbsp; abc1.bak</span></p>
<p class="p_SingleSpaced"><span class="f_CourierFixed"> &nbsp; &nbsp; abc2.bak</span></p>

<p class="p_Normal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Regular expression rename</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">To rename files using <a href="regular_expression_reference.html" class="topiclink">Perl compatible regular expressions</a>, pick <span class="f_Command">Regular expressions</span> in the Rename dialog.  In the <span class="f_Command">Old mask</span> edit, enter a regular expression that is matched against the original filename.  In the <span class="f_Command">New mask</span> edit, enter a template used to generate a new filename.</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Examples:</p>
<p class="p_Normal">Assume that you've selected the following files to rename:</p>
