Add Prefix to Every Filename in Folder and Subfolders

[FiatMihi]

Hi, I'm trying to find VBA to add the prefix "EN-" (without the quotes) to every filename in a folder, as well as for all files in every subfolder. These will be mostly .md files, but they could be Word docs, PDFs, text files, or other kinds. Regardless of the file type, the same prefix is used.

For example, if the folder "C:\Users\raymo\Documents\Evernote" contains the filename is "Rev 15.md" then the new filename will be "EN-Rev 15.md"

I saw some related posts, though I was struggling to find something that looped through subfolders as well. Thanks for your help.

You could actually do that with a one-liner from a command prompt like:

Thank you very much, this solved the problem. [Edit - see following post, unfortunately this clears the file type.]

There's a different problem I didn't previously consider. Would you know how to exclude all folders named "_resources"? The files in other folders reference the resources in those folders, but the reference location breaks if I change the filenames in the "_resources" folders.

Actually, this cleared the file type. Is there a way to do this while preserving the original file type (.md, .pdf, etc.)?

Actually, I found this online utility that works - Bulk Rename Utility. I'm not able to post a hyperlink, but a Google search can find it for download.

Thanks still for your reply. It got me to that utility that worked well enough for my purposes.
