renaming files

[qwertylol]

how do i write a script to rename every file in a folder to 1.txt ~ 999.txt?

Try to use _FileListArray(). There are few topics in the example forum.

Because AutoIt lacks a "FileRename" function, use FileMove to rename a file!

Do

Filemove ( "source", "dest" )

Filemove ( "*.txt", "$counter + txt" )

Until done

how do i write the "dest" part?

Put them in @TempDir

Dim $counter = 0

Do

Filemove ( "*.txt", $counter & '.txt')

$counter = $counter + 1

Until $counter = 344

Filemove ( "*.txt", $counter & '.txt')

$counter = $counter + 1

You could run into some serious issues with what you have there, better think through your logic a tad.

#include <file.au3>
$aArray = _FileListToArray(@ScriptDir, '*.txt')
For $iCC = 1 To UBound($aArray) - 1
    FileMove(@ScriptDir & '\' & $aArray[$iCC], @ScriptDir & '\' & $iCC & '.txt')
