Files Rename

[misterdi]

Easiest way, get a free renaming tools such as LupasRenamer.

Scripting, if you have python you could use it as command line extension to do simple renaming such that. Use re module in python and just use re sub method to replace the pattern.

import re

for file in files:
newname = file
newname = re.sub("rQ", "RQ", newname)
newname = re.sub("epo", "epi", newname)
newname = re.sub("sc20", "sc21", newname)

Then you can rename the file with newname

are you talking about files on your hard drive? or file nodes in Maya..?

for nodes: select your file nodes, and use the rename input box (top right of the Maya UI) putting in the first name (e.g. RQ_epi102_sc21_file001). Maya should rename the remaining selection incrementally from this point.

(to access the rename input box simply click on the X: Y: Z: icon and switch it to rename)

In MEL look in the command documentation for "sysFile" there is a rename flag that will do what I think you are after.

Unless there is a pattern to the change, it will be difficult to scripted the rename.
In your case, it will be easy to rename "rQ" to "RQ", also it is easy to change "sc20" to "sc21", but for the file you need to define a pattern, for example you could sort the files, and rename each one consecutively according to index of a list.

You could run the python snippet from Script Editor I believe,
as my examples files is a list of filename, you could easily get this with os.listdir or os.walk in python.
you could use sort to sort the list in ascending order.

Are you familiar with python?
