Bulk Renaming files (and moving into subfolderds) for upload into Revver

Rough steps:

Export file list into a spreadsheet
  • Open Powershell and navigate to the directory
  • Dir | Export-CSV content.csv -NoTypeInformation
  • Open in a spreadsheet and remove the unneeded columns
  • Do a find and replace to rename any files
  • The left column should have the original file name and the right column should have the new file name

  • Actions>Import Rename-Pairs>Import Rename-Pairs - Note; It looks like this can be done in f2. That is probably the better option.
  • Most basic stuff can be done here. Folders and subfolders should be done in f2

  • Navigate to the area you need to rename and add files to subfolders. The following example uses underscores to specify where the subfolders go. 
    • f2 -f '([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)_([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)_([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*.txt$' -r '$1/$2/$3{ext}'
  • The command above just does a test run to check. You need to add -e (or something) at the end to execute.
