|  | donaldsc | I am trying to add text before an existing file name.  For example, I have a bunch of files with specific descriptions of the photos - "place name.jpg". 
 I want to add a general description of the text before the existing text to the file name reads "trip description place name.jpg".
 
 To be more specific, my current file names are
 "Black Flye_1.jpg",
 "My Paddle.jpg" etc.
 
 I want them to read
 "Boat School Black Flye_1.jpg" and
 "Boat School My Paddle.jpg".
 
 Replace will not work because all the files have different names.
 
 Any ideas?
 
 DON

 | Hi, you can use the "Rename" feature of FileMonkey to append text to file names. There is a basic tutorial available here:

 Be sure and use the latest version. If you are a registered user, select the Help/Update menu item from the main window.
 
 Regards,
 monkeyjob.
