Using BRU to rename/copy en masse?

Postby whitegh0st » Thu Jul 21, 2016 5:05 pm

Hello,

What i'm trying to do is take an image, "image1.jpg" and copy/rename it multiple times using an excel form i have moved to .txt
It looks roughly like this:-

image1 | abcd100
image1 | abcd101
image1 | abcd102
image1 | abcd103
image1 | abcd104

Is this possible using BRU? It seems to have a problem using a single source file to create multiple copies?

Any feedback is appreciated!

Oh, wait, that's not going to copy an existing file.


Might look into the BRC (Bulk Rename Command) end of things & the /NODUP argument.
Maybe used in a batch file...

So as a start:
Code: Select all
C:\TMP\>brc32.exe /pattern:* /removename /insert:1234:1 /autonumber:100:1:S:-:10:4


Processing Folder C:\TMP\
Filename a         would be renamed to 1234-0100
Filename b         would be renamed to 1234-0101
Filename BRC32.exe would be renamed to 1234-0102.exe
Filename c         would be renamed to 1234-0103


Then integrate into a batch file, loop...
(That would take more thought...)
