Bulk Rename Utility

I know this question has been asked before. But the answer was always is delete the number and create a new autonumber.
I cannot do this since the folders are related to records that exist in a data base and the numbers are not in sequence.
So here is question :

How can I pad 0's to existing folder numbers without deleted the existing numbers?

Hi,

As things stand, you can't do this automatically. However there's various workarounds. It would help if you give some examples to confirm my thinking, but what I would do is this.

First, sort your folders by name. If the numbers are purely numeric then you might want to enable the "use logical sorting" feature.

Then, select all the folders from 1-9 and prefix them with 0000. Then select all the folders 10-99 and prefix them with 000. Then select all the folders 100-999 and prefix them with 00. Finally select all the folders 1000-9999 and prefix them with 0.

This may or may not include your full range of folders, but you get the idea.
