Copying a Bunch of File Names
Let's say you want to copy a bunch of file names, such as file1.mp3, file2.mp3, and file3.mp3, and paste them into the command window for further processing. To do this, you can select the files, drag them, and drop them into the command window. This will automatically paste the file names into the command window, allowing you to quickly process them.
Renaming Files in Command Window
Once you have the file names pasted into the command window, you can use the ren command to rename the files. For example, to add a prefix to each file name, you can use the following command:
ren *.mp3 prefix_*.mp3This will add the prefix prefix_ to each file name, resulting in files named prefix_file1.mp3, prefix_file2.mp3, and prefix_file3.mp3.
