File Tasks

Custom Text

The Custom Text task adds a fixed text string to every filename, either at the start or the end.

Controls

ControlDescription
ValueThe text to add to each filename
@ Start / @ EndWhether the text is added before or after the existing filename

Behavior

  • The text is inserted before the . extension when placed at the end, unless you include the extension separator yourself
  • An empty Value field has no effect on filenames

Examples

report.pdf2024_@ Start2024_report.pdf
photo.jpg_final@ Endphoto_final.jpg
document.docxDRAFT_@ StartDRAFT_document.docx

Tips

  • Use this task to add project prefixes, version labels, or category tags to groups of files
  • Place at @ Start for sortable prefixes (e.g., dates, IDs)
  • Place at @ End for descriptive suffixes (e.g., _backup, _draft, _v2)
  • Combine with Number Sequence when you need both a label and a counter
