re-number in groups

[schendel]

I'd like to add a prefix to a series of files but in groups of five. The first five would be prefixed with "01", the next five with "02" etc. I'm pretty sure this could be done in the Numbering (10) section, but haven't quite figured it out yet...

Hi..
There's no numbering-option to halt or delay the counter's increment process.
With javascript (paid version), you can perform math against the counter (divide by 5, round-up):

newName='0'+Math.ceil(counter/5)+'--'+name

Okay...I was thinking there was a trick using the "Break" option under Numbering. Still not 100% clear on how that is supposed to work.
Side note - I did figure out a way to do what I needed using the "Renaming From A Text File" (Import Rename-Pairs) feature so I'm good for now.

The manual at the beginning of the How-To forum explains all of the features including the Break - get it now - it's free.

Yeah, no tricks with the break-option, Im afraid.
Its just a restarter, working kinda like the folder-option to restart the counter, but its much harder to describe.
Break=2 basically means: Dont let the 2nd-char in filename get changed by incrementing.

So if you were numbering a bunch of files like: ab01, ab02, ab03, etc.
Break=2 has no effect, because incrementing cant change the 2nd-char
Break=3 restarts after ab09, since ab10 tries to change the 3rd-char

If it's still not clear, please see the manual at: http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/foru ... =12&t=4743
I'm sure it describes this much better, and has a ton of info on the numbering options.
Anywho, glad you found a solution.. Cheers!
