Here's a little bit of code that renames sub folders in a directory with python. import os import os.path for (dirpath, dirnames, filenames) in os.walk(r'O:\!2016\your folder path here):     for idx in range(len(dirnames)):         print(dirnames[idx])         newname = dirnames[idx].split(' ')[0].upper() + " " + dirnames[idx].split(' ')[1].upper()         os.rename(os.path.join(dirpath, dirnames[idx]), os.path.join(dirpath, newname))         dirnames[idx] = newname
