Dear all,

first of all - a great tool. wow - im impressed.
I have to use the command line tool for a scheduled task.
To have the right sort order i want to add letters instead of numbers.

when i use /AUTONUMBER:1:1:S:-:37:3 and /NoDUPE it generates AAA to AAZ for the first 26 Files - but then it starts with AAA-1 instead of ABA ACA ADA etc...
The Application does fine.
Am i missing somthing?


Thank you very much for your help

Regards,

Christian

hmm, I think it could be an in-congruence between the two programs :?:

Base37/38 padding workaround

Command-line version doesnt fully support padding with Base37/38 numbering
As a workaround, specify 27 as your Start-Char:
/autonumber:27:1:S:-:37:3

Hi, guys,

I want to rename my files With a prefix AAA, AAB, AAC etc.
Is this the correct command /autonumber:27:1:S:-:37:3 ?

Where do I enter it?


Cheers

Command line.
Though you want a Prefix & not a Suffix, so you need to s/P/S/.

Code: Select all
C:\RENAME\Bulk Rename Command\brc32.exe   /DIR:.  /AUTONUMBER:1:1:P:-:37:3


And then confirm its returning the results you want prior to actually effecting the changes.

Adjust the path to brc32.exe & the directory (I have it set to the current, "." directory) as needed.
If you don't need the command-line, use the GUI to do the same, 10:Numbering.
