Summary：When there are a large number of txt text files, each file contains a chapter of a novel, with the first line being the chapter title. When the number of plain text files is too large, the file names need to be modified according to the first line title of the chapter in the file. Opening each file one by one to check the title and then renaming it not only wastes time but also reduces operational efficiency. Below is an introduction on how to batch replace the txt file names with the first line content of the text files.
1、Usage Scenarios
Change the file names of txt or plain text files to the content of any number of characters in the first line of the file.
For example: Novel Chapters 1.txt, Novel Chapters 2.txt, Novel Chapters 3.txt are three txt plain text files.
The first line titles of the articles, "The turning point of fate," "Misty mystery," and "The Call of the Brave," need to replace the file names.
After modification, they become The turning point of fate.txt, Misty mystery.txt, and The Call of the Brave.txt.
