Different Renames for Different Files (csv)

Postby JJH » Wed Nov 18, 2020 4:01 pm

I'm new to BRU and need to know if it'll do the following:

I have a PDF file with each page being a different letter to a different person. This file is named: Christmas Letters.pdf

If I split the file into individual pages, each gets renamed as:
Christmas Letters-part1.pdf
Christmas Letters-part2.pdf
Christmas Letters part3.pdf
etc.

I want to rename each "part" with the name of her person it's going to. So Christmas Letters-part1 would be renamed Christmas Letter-Joe Smith, and -part2 would be Christmas Letter-Sue Jones, etc.

I have a separate .csv file with equates which "Part" equates to which person. Can I use BRU to rename each file using the .csv file as a key?

Yes, using Excel, build a file like this:

Christmas Letters-part1.pdf|Christmas Letter-Joe Smith.pdf
Christmas Letters-part2.pdf|Christmas Letter-Sue Jones.pdf

etc.

then import in BRU using Import Rename Pairs.

Select the file you want to rename and rename,
