Batch Rename PDFs without .bat file

I'm looking to include an additional step to an existing workflow which would rename several hundred .pdfs in a folder (using a REGEX_Replace(String, pattern, replace) function).

Is it possible to do this without calling a .bat file (using Run Command tool)?

Thanks in advance!

How about creating a .bat file in your workflow and then running it upon success as an event?

If you're open to using the R tool, I'm sure this could be scripted quite easily in R.

Have not used R, but interesting suggestion!

I was looking at the Batch Files in Alteryx Part 1: Creating .bat files example and was wondering if there was a more simplified/streamlined workflow using controls I may not have integrated in the past. This may be what I look at but I was reaching out to see if anyone else had used another method.

Thanks!
