[qsek]

well if you only want to replace the letters, this is really no big deal. Work with FileFindFirstFile, FileFindNextFile and FileMove to rename the Files.

can any 1 give example

Look in Help file in the Autoit3 Directory, search for the functions i wrote above, there is one example to every function. Really simple.

It seems that you are more interested in getting the work for you done rather than trying and learning for youself. In this case you wont get many Replys here.

But if you have problems on the way doing your stuff, we will always try to help.

FileMove is used to rename a file

Filemove("oldname","newname",1)

thanx martin but i want to tell the program that if file name found contain arabic letter replace it with english letter

basically you need the StringReplace Function. I would put all arabic letters in a array and Replace every letter in the String with a For/Next Loop.

It would look like this:

$str = "¢ÖÀæÖèÃ"

Dim $eng[30] = ["a","b","c"] ;~ and so on, all english letters in alphabetic order
Dim $arab[30] = ["æ","Ã","¢"] ;~ and so on, all arabic letters in alphabetic order
$newstr = $str
for $i = 0 to Ubound($arab)-1
    $tempstr = StringReplace($newstr,$arab[$i],$eng[$i])
    If $tempstr = "" Then ContinueLoop
    $newstr = $tempstr
    MsgBox(0,"Temp String",$newstr)
Next

MsgBox(0,"End String",$newstr)
