Batch file to rename files in multiple folders

I have the folder and file structure as given below. I am in need of a MS DOS batch file to rename the files in multiple folders. Can anyone please help out?

- Main Folder

    -->Sub Folder1
        --- File1_EN.txt
        --- File2_EN.txt

    --> Sub Folder2
        --- File3_EN.txt
        --- File4_EN.txt

I want to rename the suffix "EN" in file names to "ENU".

If you want all child folders to be changed use:

for /f "delims=*" %a in ('dir File*_EN.txt /b /s') do ren "%a" File*_ENU.txt

Try this:

ren folder1\file*.txt file*_enu.txt
ren folder2\file*.txt file*_enu.txt

You can do it by this way:

@Echo OFF

Set "Folder=C:\Users\Administrador\Desktop\Nueva carpeta"
Set "Suffix=_EN"
Set "Replace=_ENU"
Set "RegEx=\".*%Suffix%\"$" 

FOR /R "%Folder%" %%# in ("*") DO (
    (Echo "%%~n#"| FINDSTR /I "%RegEx%" 1>NUL) && (
    Set "NewFileName=%%~nx#"
    Call Set "NewFileName=%%NewFileName:%Suffix%=%Replace%%%"
    Call Echo [+] Renaming: "%%~nx#" "%%NewFileName%%"
    Ren "%%#" "%%NewFileName%%"
    )
)

Pause&Exit

The Findstr is to ensure the matched string is a suffix, is better than doing a substring or splitting the filename from "_" character to the right.
