Add specific values from a list to file names?

Postby smardan » Sat Feb 01, 2020 3:39 am

Hi all,

I spent so much time searching through for this........
NO solutions anywhere except some useless bits and pieces of python code in Stack Overflow...

What I wanna do is VERY simple yet no one seems to know how to do it:

What I have:

DSC0001
DSC0002
DSC0003
...

What I want:

RGB002_1111133
RGB002_1111211
RGB002_1111212
Those suffixes are some sort of scientific numbers (Patterns) obtained form a long list of Full Factorial combination of seven factors combined to each other.
So I can't get this from the numbering feature in the software.

AND I do know the "Import Pairs" option in this software but what's annoying is that I don't necessarily need to have my old file names listed but rather wanna see how I can simply say ANYTHING I have, iterate through it and add this list of specific numbers to the right side. :cry: :( Is that really complicated?!!! I'm disappointed at this.

Please give me your advice. Thanks!

The problem is I don't see a pattern. You have the pattern RGB002 - Ok - Remove filename will take care of that using a Fixed of RGB002, the underscore is also not
a problem - but the suffix is - 1211, 1212 fine but to go from 1133 to 1211 then 1212 - no. There Is not enough of a pattern. Other than using Rename-pairs I don't
see a way to do it. Anyone else have an opinion? By the way, if you want to know what the program can and can't do - read the manual at
