Completely renaming files sequentially (1,2,3...etc)

Postby MikalThor » Thu May 22, 2014 6:31 pm

I'm trying to rename a bunch of files in a folder so that:

CMR_04004302.csv becomes 1.csv
CMR_04004303.csv becomes 2.csv
CMR_04004304.csv becomes 3.csv
etc.

which of the Bulk Rename Utility's functions would accomplish this?

Thanks,
MikalThor

Remove OrigNames and Autonumber by alpha-order

The below settings would handle it:

2Name=Remove

10Mode=Prefix
10Start=1
10Inc=1

Make sure OrigNames in the right-pane are sorted properly.
Click name-column and Options/LogicalSorting (if needed).
Then select OrigNames in right-pane to be renamed.
