Hi, everyone. My situation is that I have a group of files that are
needing to be renamed. I have software now that will convert a batch
of file names, but it only allows me to modify parameters of what the
new file names will be. I am needing to rename a group of file names
from a predetermined list that I have now. Is there a way to do this?
Do I need additional software? Thanks!

I don't know of any program that will rename files to predefined
individual names. In fact, it's not clear how you would specify
which old named file is to be renamed to which new name without
a list containing "columns" of both names.

Such a program, driven by a text file, could be written in, say,
Visual Basic.
