Get all files structure to one variable
cd <your directory>
d = dir('**/*.bmp')
Apply loop to get every file to structure
filename_full = fullfile(d(loop variable).folder, d(loop variable).name);
[~, filename, ext] = fileparts(filename_full);
check file names use ifelse condition
if strcmp(filename, '1');
filename = '9' % so to all other 3 files
end
concatanate all string to form renamed path
filename_full_ren = fullfile(d(loop variable).folder,[filename, ext]);
then rename file by moving
movefile(filename_full, filename_full_ren);
You are done

for ii = 1:4 % you have written for 4 files i think change for loop count as
end
for ii = 1:length(d) % change to this

yes it works, thanks
cd testn;
d = dir('**/*.bmp');
for ii = 1:length(d) % change to this
filename_full = fullfile(d(ii).folder, d(ii).name);
[~, filename, ext] = fileparts(filename_full);
if strcmp(filename,'1')
filename = '9';
elseif strcmp(filename,'2')
filename = '10';
elseif strcmp(filename,'3')
filename = '11';
elseif strcmp(filename,'4')
filename = '12';
end
filename_full_ren = fullfile(d(ii).folder,[filename, ext]);
movefile(filename_full, filename_full_ren);
end
