Mass Renaming

[xPloit]

I have a folder with 1163 pictures in it and I want all of them renamed numerically. (Starting at 1 and going to 1163)

I know that there is no FileRename() function, so I have to use FileMove() However, this only does 1 file at a time...so rather than me having to hit F5 1163 times, I was hoping there was some way to make it do all the files...

my code is:

Global $Num = Random(0,1163,1)

While 1
     FileMove("C:\Users\Justin\Desktop\Folder\*.jpg","C:\Users\Justin\Desktop\Folder\" & $Num & ".jpg")
WEnd

It works, but only one 1 file at a time...how do I make it rename all the files at once?

See the example under FileFindNextFile from Help.

If you were going to globally insert/append the same string onto all the target files, like sticking ".bak" on the end of the filenames, you could do it in one fell swoop. But, since you're specifying a different name for each file, you have to go one-at-a-time. Something like:

#include <File.au3>

Global Const $Path = "C:\Users\Justin\Desktop\Folder\"
Global $Array = _FileListToArray($Path, "*.jpg", 1)

For $x = 1 to $Array[0]
    FileMove($Path & $Array[$x], $Path & $x & ".jpg")
Next

Stick it in a loop, and increment the loop counter ($num) from 1 to 1163.

Pseudo code:
For $Num = 1 to 1163
     Rename
Next $Num

$sFldr = "C:\Some\folder\" 
$hSrch = FileFindFirstFile($sFldr & "*.jpg")
If NOT @Error Then
    $i = 1
    While 1
        $sFile = FileFindNextFile($hSrch)
        If @Error Then ExitLoop
        If FileMove($sFldr & $sFile, $sFldr & $i & ".jpg") Then $i += 1
    WEnd
EndIf
FileClose($hSrch)
