Problems with Renaming using FileMove and a For-loop

[Husel]

Hi everybody,

I just recently discovered AutoIt and am impressed. It seems to be one of the programs I was looking for a long time. Just an up to date version of .bat files.

However, I encountered a problem when wirting my own first little script.

My problem:

I have some files named cond1111.txt, cond1112.txt, cond1121.txt, ..., cond1242.txt.

What I basically want to do is rename those file to cond2111.txt, cond2112.txt, ..., cond2242.txt. This is, cange the first 1 to a 2.

Therefore I wrote a little script posted below that, in my eyes, should accomplish this. But somehow it does not.

For $i = 1 To 2
    For $f = 1 To 4
        For $g = 1 to 2
            $nameold = "cond1" & $i & $f & $g & ".txt"
            $namenew = "\cond2" & $i & $f & $g & ".txt"
                    FileMove(@ScriptDir & $nameold, @ScriptDir & $namenew)
        Next
    Next
Next

I checked the variables $nameold and $namenew and they contain what they are supposed to (e.g., cond1111.txt or /cond2111.txt). I already tried to construct the filenames within in the FileMove function, but this did not work either.

Can anybody tell me, what I am doing wrong. It wouzld be so great, because I would realy like to use AutoIt regularly.

Thanks from Germany,

Henrik

Looks like you forgot to put a backslash infront of the filename for $nameold

$nameold = "cond1" & $i & $f & $g & ".txt"

so it should be this

$nameold = "\cond1" & $i & $f & $g & ".txt"

Thanks a lot. I dont know why i did not try THIS. Now everything is fine.

Sorry for disturbing you.

Thanks.
