Renaming all or selected files in a folder by appeding a prefix

Question

Hello,

Is there a way to append a few letters to some/all files in a folder?
For instance I would like to add the prefix "abc-" to some or all the files in one of my folders.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, you can use :substitute command like this:

:s/$/my-suffix

You can also use :rename command and do anything you want with names by editing them in Vim, although in this case it might be an overkill.
