Hi. I've got about 700 Word documents on my Mac where the filename starts with a date (eg: 20260701). Is there a way to insert a hyphen into all of them to separate it into year, month and date pls (eg: 2026-07-01). Thanks.
Are those Word documents in a single, flat folder, or in sub-folders of that main folder? Are there additional folders containing Word documents? Are the Word documents all .docx, or could there be a mixture including older .doc files?
Have a script that has been tested on macOS Tahoe 26.6 for Word documents with 20260728.docx or 20260728_foo.docx naming convention. Renames them 2026-07-28.docx or 2026-07-28_foo.docx respectively.
Waiting on your reply?
