How do I rename all files from folder to xxx{incremental}.jpg using command prompt

I have below files in folder with a same name. Only the extensions are different. All files are valid jpg but with the wrong extension.

enter image description here

How to rename them with extension as .jpg, with a different prefix?

ren *.* *.jpg ----> Is not working for me as they all are having same prefix

Solution

  • This should work for you:

    Clear-Host
$directoryPath = "C:\directory\with\images"
#Getting all files with "1.*" from $directoryPath
$foldercontent = Get-ChildItem -Path $directoryPath -Filter "1.*" | Where-Object { ! $_.PSIsContainer }
foreach($item in $foldercontent) {
    Move-Item -Path $item.FullName -Destination "$directoryPath\image$($item.Extension).jpg"
}

    File names will be:

    image.J84.jpg
image.J85.jpg
