How can you rename files with the same number?

Postby mr19th » Wed Oct 01, 2014 10:29 pm

I have two folders that have files in them starting at 000001A, 000002A, 000003A... and I need to group them together.

The problem that I have is that some of the files have a second file. Example: 00001A, 00002A, 00003A, 00003B, 00004A, 00005A, 00005B, 00006A,....

These are photographs and some of the photographs have notes on the back of them, so the back of the photograph is titled with the same number, but a "B" instead of an "A".

So, I have two folders filled with photographs and I need to group in numerical order, but keep the backs titled with the same number and just a B instead of an A.

Is there any way to do this?

Thank you for any help,
Sean

What means ""to group in numerical order"" ? :roll:

It seams you better use a script for such work. For plain ascii text even a DOS batch will work.







Please wait a few seconds then submit. Thank you.
