Bulk Feature Rename

Hey All,

I just completed a "Split by Attribute" where a CSV was split into features by one Field. This particular field had data in the following format: "Building - Name". Unfortunately after the "Split by Attribute" completed the spaces and Hyphen were converted into underscores so the name of the File is now "Building___Name" Is there an easy way to essentially perform a Fins and Replace on the Feature class names to return them to Building - Name format?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @FlightDeck 

If in a GDB then names cannot contain spaces or dashes. 

If shp files, you can run a generic python rename script or use a tool such as the free Bulk Rename Utility.  
BRU is very handy to know and keep in your back pocket.
