batch renaming

[stzweb]

Hi,
This is my 1st post here, I hope that's the good place for my question.
I'm trying to use my iPad Pro like a laptop. It's truly full of ressources. But I can't find anything for this one: how can i batch rename multiple files?
Is there a file explorer app that allows that?

IOS11 will have some file handing capability but likely won't be as capable as we all hope for...
... with the current release... no.

Given that the OS X's Finder does not handle batch renames, I don't think iOS' Files app which is not as robust or feature rich as the Finder will have it. the Files app will give you very basic file management capabilities, but iOS is still very closed compared to OS X.

I was very excited over the news of a file manager from Apple. I and other have been waiting for years.

After a little more research, reality set in.

Basic batch renaming has been integrated into the Finder since Yosemite

Fair enough, but the point is that, iOS is more locked down and the likelihood if it getting that ability is slim to none imo.

OP, you're likely in need of a Perl/Python script in order to batch change items and I haven't heard of anything capable of that on iOS.

For instance use Workflow App and design workflow to batch rename files in iCloud Drive folder etc
