You could do something like this. As a quick example, given a root folder named Test on the desktop, with the subfolders Test1, Test2, Test3, Test4, Test5...

#include <File.au3>

Local $aArray = _FileListToArray(@DesktopDir & "\Test", "*", $FLTAR_FOLDERS, True)

    For $i = 1 To $aArray[0]
        DirMove($aArray[$i], $aArray[$i] & "_" & $i)
    Next

would produce subfolders Test1_1, Test2_2, Test3_3, Test4_4, Test5_5.

Thanks. But I want add number at first folder name.I try this code but don't work.

For $i = 1 To $aArray[0]

        DirMove($aArray[$i], $i & $aArray[$i])

    Next

[Spider001]

like i see it you put the number before your drive c:/,....

use a msgbox or ConsoleWrite to what you got on that string

$i & $aArray[$i]

i think you must use _PathSplit

then place your number

and then assemble the whole path again

I don't think _PathSplit solve this problem. because I have sub folder and need all folder rename auomatically.

[Spider001]

give us a output from

use a msgbox or ConsoleWrite to what you got with that

$i & $aArray[$i]

[behdadsoft]

don't show any messange.

[behdadsoft]

there is any way for solve this Problem?

[JLogan3o13]

The problem you are going to run into is that when you change the top level folder's name first, you then alter the path for every subsequent folder. Try using the code I supplied to change all the sub folders, then change the parent folder last.

Your code change last folder name. how can move changes to first folder name? I need it Please Guide Me.

Thanks.

Ok, I get that we have probably have a language barrier here, but you need to clarify what you're trying to do. From your OP, it seems like you have a number of folders that you want to rename, and you're using _FileListToArray to gather a list of the folders to be changed. (Right so far??)

You can't change the top-level folder until last, because that would alter the path for every subsequent folder. So, once you have the array of folders, change all the subfolders first, then change the parent folder last. Something like this:

All the same code I gave you in post #3

#include <File.au3>

Local $aArray = _FileListToArray(@DesktopDir & "\Test", "*", $FLTAR_FOLDERS, True)

    For $i = 1 To $aArray[0]
        DirMove($aArray[$i], $aArray[$i] & "_" & $i)
    Next

Change the parent directory last

;Last Step!

DirMove(@DesktopDir & "\Test", @DesktopDir & "\NewTest", 1)

If it is still not clear, then you need to explain in better detail what you're trying to do.

[behdadsoft]

OK, I explain better.

I want rename Parent folder and sub folders. mean I have some parent folder that each have many sub folders. Now I want rename parents folder and sub folders.like this:

1 New Folder

   ---1 test

   ---2 test

   ---3 test

2 New Folder

   ---4 test

   ---5 test

   ---6 test

and so on.

[Spider001]

just like JLogan3o13 says and if you what the number not on the last place you need _PathSplit like i said before

[JLogan3o13]

Please explain what the folders are named before you start, and then what they are named after you run the code I provided to you.

[behdadsoft]

my folder names before start are like this:

 

Game

   ---Evit

   ---StarWars

   ---IGI

Software

   ---Firefox

   ---Chrome

   ---Babylon

 

now I want add number at first name folders like this:

1 Game

   ---1 Evit

   ---2 StarWars

   ---3 IGI

2 Software

   ---4 Firefox

   ---5 Chrome

   ---6 Babylon

#include <File.au3>
#include <array.au3>

$tel = 1
$tel1 = 1
Local $aArray = _FileListToArray(@DesktopDir , "*", $FLTAR_FOLDERS, True)
If UBound($aArray) > 0 Then
   For $i = 1 To $aArray[0]
      Local $aArrays = _FileListToArray($aArray[$i] , "*", $FLTAR_FOLDERS, True)
      If UBound($aArrays) > 0 Then
         For $j = 1 To $aArrays[0]
         DirMove($aArrays[$j], _GetPathSplit($aArrays[$j])[1] & _GetPathSplit($aArrays[$j])[2] & $tel1 & _GetPathSplit($aArrays[$j])[3])
         $tel1 += 1
         Next
      EndIf
      DirMove($aArray[$i], _GetPathSplit($aArray[$i])[1] & _GetPathSplit($aArray[$i])[2] & $tel & _GetPathSplit($aArray[$i])[3])
      $tel += 1
   Next
EndIf

Func _GetPathSplit($file)
   Local $sDrive = "", $sDir = "", $sFilename = "", $sExtension = ""
   Return _PathSplit($file, $sDrive, $sDir, $sFilename, $sExtension)
EndFunc

Thanks Spider001.

I have a ask can you explain me this line?

DirMove($aArrays[$j], _GetPathSplit($aArrays[$j])[1] & _GetPathSplit($aArrays[$j])[2] & $tel1 & _GetPathSplit($aArrays[$j])[3])

what is [1],[2],[3]?

[JLogan3o13]

behdadsoft, again, read the help file instead of expecting people to spoon feed you everything! At the very least look at the Wiki - Arrays

[Spider001]

look at the help for _arraydisplay()
