Project2501 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Is there anyway to rename a bunch of .avi's in a single directory according to their creation date (eg. 30122007.avi)? I was thinking something like this: FileMove("C:\*.avi", "C:\" & @MDAY & @MON & @YEAR & ".avi") but this will just rename them to the current date (and won't work due to multiple files the same name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer5250 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hope this helps to start you on your way! #include <File.au3> Dim $aFileList = _FileListToArray("AVI Directory", "*.avi") Dim $sDateString, $sTime For $x = 1 To $aFileList[0] $sTime = FileGetTime("AVI Directory\" & $aFileList[$x], 1) $sDateString = $sTime[2] & $sTime[1] & $sTime[0] FileMove("AVI Directory\" & $aFileList[$x],"AVI Directory\" & StringTrimRight($aFileList[$x],4) & " " & $sDateString & ".avi") Next Exit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this: #include <File.au3> Dim $Source = "C:\Video", $FileTime, $nName, $sim = 1, $ren = 0 Global $FileArray = _FileListToArray($Source, "*.avi", 1) If Not IsArray($FileArray) Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "avi files not found in " & $Source & " folder") Exit EndIf For $i = 1 To $FileArray[0] $FileTime = FileGetTime($Source &"\"& $FileArray[$i], 1) $nName = $FileTime[2] & $FileTime[1] & $FileTime[0] $ren = FileMove($Source &"\"& $FileArray[$i], $Source &"\"& $nName & ".avi") If Not $ren Then While Not $ren $sim += 1 $ren = FileMove($Source &"\"& $FileArray[$i], $Source &"\"& $nName & "_" & $sim & ".avi") Sleep(1) WEnd $sim = 0 EndIf Next Edited December 30, 2007 by rasim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
