movefile

movefile source destination

movefile 'B00001.im7' 'P00001.im7' % or supply full path to the files

Actually, I need to reame the file name inside the folder.

[Mario Malic]

if the source and destination are the same, file will be renamed.

If the files are in your current directory, just provide their names to rename.

Thanks ,, It worked. But I have 10000 files files from B00001.im7 to B10000.im7, How to implement this.. ??

[Mario Malic]

This should do it.

Dir_files = dir('*.im7');
List_Files = {Dir_files.name}'; % Cell (length(Dir_files, 1) that contain filenames
List_Files(:,2) = List_Files(:,1); % Copying cells to second column
for ii = 1:length(List_Files)
    List_Files{ii,2}(1) = 'P'; % Change first character in 2nd column of each file
    movefile (List_Files{ii,1}, List_Files{ii,2});
end
