Dec 17, 2016 In MS-DOS, a batch file is a text file containing a series of commands intended to be executed by the command interpreter. It's very convenient and handy. Is it possible to do the same in Mac OS? Since Mac OS X is a Unix system, yes, that's certainly possible.

How to search and replace certain words in the name of specific files on Mac
Sometimes, you want to change the name of just a few files, but it's one of dozens of files with different names and may be difficult to search for. You can find and replace portions or all of the name of files if you have a general idea of the original. For example, you could find and replace the wording in the name of every file that has 'secret project' in it.
Every file that had the original word or words you searched for will be replaced with the word or words you entered to change them to.
How to undo a batch-rename of files on Mac
It's incredibly easy to undo a file rename, as long as it's the last action you performed in the finder window.
You can also hit Command-Z as a keyboard shortcut to undo.
