Save the following example to h1_rename.jsee in your macro directory. Then open an html file that you want to rename. Run h1_rename.jsee while that file is open and the output file will be saved (copied) with the new name in the same directory.

NOTE: Using this script could be cumbersome and annoying. The reason is because it would be tedious to open 100 files, one at a time, and then run this macro against the file. Therefore, you may want to modify this macro to loop through the directory, grab all the names and save the files. Another problem, however, is it may be annoying and cumbersome to have a script open EmEditor to do this.
Therefore, the easiest way to accomplish this task may be simply to write a WSH script file and have it process the files in a without using EmEditor to do it. That’s probably how I would do it anyway.
Nevertheless, you asked for an example and there it is!
