I don't think that BRU actually looks inside the
text contents of a file.
You might want to try something like the very powerful AutoIT scripting language instead.
The algorithm should be quite easy:
- Code: Select all
Select a folder
Process all files within it (recursion loop)
-Open file
-Read first line of file
-Close file
-Rename file
Continue loop
Alternately just use AutoIT to read the first line and write it to a text file that can be used as the input for the Bulk Rename Utility.
