Rename Files using csv list / excel file (exported to CSV)
If you execute the script in the same directory as the files, you don't have to add the full path, but if it's in a different directory the the full path is needed
You can start with an excel file, but when you export the excel file to CSV you have to add the "Path" and the "NewName" to the top of the CSV exported file
The reason why we add the Path, and NewName is because the Rename-Item function accepts a Path string and a NewName string import-csv ./rename.csv | rename-item
The CSV File
Path,NewName dog.jpg,222-dog.jpg rat.jpg,333-rat.jpg cat.jpg,111-cat.jpg
