I have a bunch of files I need to prepend with some text.

Is this possible with Pythonista?

Ie.

Filename1 —> pre-text Filename1
Filename2 —> pre-text Filename2
Filename3 —> pre-text Filename3

@wayland tou may try this, as a script or as a command

import os; [os.rename(f,'pre_text '+f) for f in os.listdir(path=os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/')) if f.startswith('Filename')]

I'm sure that @ccc will do shorter
