Numbering Help?

[bohica]

Sorry if this has been covered but I have gone through the manual and looked around here, but I can't seem to find any info on how to fix this.

I have bunches of files that are numbered 1 - 100 (or more). The problem comes from the single digit numbers (0?) 1 - 9. I need a way to add/rename them as 01 -09 (+/- the zero - 00)

As it stands right now, these files show up this way:

1
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
2
20
21 etc, all the way to 88,89,9,90,91

I would like to be able to bulk rename them so they show up as:

01
02
-
08
09
10

Is there a way to do this already with this program? If so, could someone please explain how, step-by-step? If not, might I suggest this as a future option in the renumbering portion of the program?

Any help would really be appreciated.

Well, after playing with the settings some more, I seem to have hit upon the answer.

I set the 'Mode' to 'Insert' and the 'at' to -1, and then highlight ONLY the first 9 files and it renames them with an 0 before each number. All the other settings in this section are left at 0. Oddly, when I get to 10,11,12, etc, it turns them into 100,101,102, etc.

But that's ok, I found out how to rename those single digits, which is what I needed. I've been renaming them individually to this point.

Great you have worked it out yourself! Good work!

An special "thank you" for coming back and even provide an solution for others who find this thread :thumpsup:

See menu "Options > Sorting > Logical Sorting" as like in XPs WinExpl, maybe this helps?

See menu "Options > Sorting > Logical Sorting" as like in XPs WinExpl, maybe this helps?

Actually, I did do that already, but it seemed like it had no effect.(?) At least, none that I could see.

OHH, well i guessed it would help, but maybe it works only at the start of an string.
