large task: take thousands of files and rename them
step one:
dos:
DIR /S /B *.SWA >names.bat
/s does the subdirectores
/b does the full file names
step two:
vim:
%s/\\\(\w*\)\.SWA/&^I^I\1.mp3/ – copy the end of the line and change the copy from from whatever.SWA to whatever.MP3
%s/\(Documents and Settings\)/”\1”/gc – put Documents and Settings into quotes
%s/^/RENAME^I – insert RENAME at the beginning of the line
step three:
dos:
names.bat
