Mass File Renaming

[romantic_programmer]

Problem: I have several thousand photos with in an array of folders. i am looking for help to design a program that will allow me to rename the files one folder at a time. So just say all the files in folder A are random numbers. i would like to take this folder and change all the file names to birthdayparty(*)

* = a increment number to prevent duplicate file nameing

I am just having a problem on how to start it.... i know i need to use the File manipulation module, and maybe a few for statements or loops...

if someone could help me in the right direction this would be a huge time saver.

ok i edited this message and so far this is what i have come up with...

code:

/* * Must place this file into the Directory in * which you wants it's files to be rewritten */ var inc : int := 0 var newName : string := "" var genericFile : string put "Welcome, to your file name changer" loop File.Rename ("\""+ genericFile + "\"" + ".jpg", "\""+ newName + "\"" + inc + ".jpg") inc += 1 end loop put Error.LastMsg

Look up Dir.Open() Dir.Get() and of course Dir.Close(), those should give you everything necessary to finish your program.
