# RenameAllFiles

Renames multiple files in a directory by replacing a specified search string with a replace string in the file names.

## Usage

To use the utility, run the following command:

```

RenameAllFiles.exe searchString replaceString [CONFIRM]

```

### Parameters

- `searchString`: The string you want to search for in the file names.

- `replaceString`: The string you want to replace the `searchString` with in the file names.

- `CONFIRM` (optional): If you want to execute the renaming process, add this parameter. Without it, the utility will only display the expected changes without actually renaming the files.

### Example

If you want to replace the word "old" with "new" in the file names in the current directory, run the following command:

```

RenameAllFiles.exe old NEW

```

This will display the expected changes in the file names. For example:

```

Old file.txt -> NEW file.txt

Another old file.older -> Another NEW file.NEWer

 ```

If you are satisfied with the changes and want to proceed with renaming the files, add the `CONFIRM` parameter:

```

RenameAllFiles.exe old new CONFIRM

```

This will rename the files as specified.

## Notes

- Search is case-insensitive, so it will match both upper and lower case occurrences of the search string.

- It processes only files in the current directory, not in subdirectories.
