That is not going to change the information in associated files, for example stats files.

You can just rename the directory ABC1234 to Case1

mv ABC1234 Case1

For purposes of de-identification, is there an easy way to "rename" all the contents of data for a processed subject?

For example, If I want to do share data or do reliability training on an existing subject (e.g., "ABC1234"), I want to rename everything associated with this case to "Case1".

Thanks Wil

Hi Bruce-

Not trivial to be sure!

I was hoping there was an undocumented feature/command.

Of course, everyone and their neighbor could suggest a "useful feature to be added", but this one seems particularly useful.

Thanks, Wil
