How to Prepend Index Number to SubFolders Based on Parent
Posted: Fri May 19, 2017 7:33 amHi,
I am working with a large set of folders, subfolders, and files in windows explorer. I have been tasked with indexing the files as follows.
Parent folders should be numbered "1.[Folder Name]", "2."[Folder Name], "3. [Folder Name]", etc.
Subfolders should be numbered as follows: "1.1 [Subfolder name]", "1.2 [Subfolder name]", "2.1 [Subfolder name]", "3.1 [Subfolder name]", etc.
Files should be numbered as follows: "1.1.1 [File Name]", "1.2.1 [File Name]", "2.1.1 [File Name]", "3.1.1 [File Name]", etc.
The idea is for someone to be able to easily reference files by index number (e.g. "In file 8.4.2.1.2, you can see x, y, and z")
Is there an easy way to do this?
